‍Born at the tail end of Apollo and raised on a diet of Star Wars and Star Trek, Paul Grover became obsessed with all things space at an early age.

‍

‍Realising he was not cut out for the rigours of astronaut training, he decided that if he couldn’t boldly go to space, he’d write about it instead. The process of creating and exploring strange new worlds on paper soon became an obsession.

‍

‍After numerous false starts, too many energy drinks and far too little sleep, his first book Ark of Souls was published in 2017. The Vale series now spans five volumes. The sixth and final book is in development.

In 2024 Paul took the decision to take a short break. That break resulted in the motorsport novel “The Last Garagiste” and the weird western “Trinity.”

While he proudly describes himself as a nerd, Paul has made it his mission to make sci-fi accessible to readers of all backgrounds. He populates his books with relatable misfits. For some, saving the universe or winning a Grand Prix is the least of their problems.
