In the early 1980's, he and his father relocated to the Californian coast, which he has cheerfully called home ever since.
While in college Paul wrote a few stories, but as he got older alas writing was relegated onto his hectic life's "back burner" and he barely wrote a word of fiction for over fifteen years. However in 2004 all this was about to abruptly and delightfully change, as that was the year when he realized that despite a serene contented existence an important aspect in his life was missing, the written word. So, once more he began churning out in abundance short stories, and his first book "The Curious Accounts of the Imaginary Friend," was
released in 2007. And the rest, as they say, is history.
He has had three books published thus far. The first "The Curious Accounts of the Imaginary Friend," is a collection of short horror stories all demonstrating his unique writing style and ability to engage the reader from the very first word.
His second, book, "Dr. Offig's Lessons from the Dark Side, Vol. 1," is a similar collection however it is primarily aimed at the young adult crowd. But adults seem to be enjoying it as much as the teenagers judging from the raving reviews.
His third book, the long anticipated follow up to his first, has recently been released entitled: "The Further Accounts of the Imaginary Friend."
He is a regular on the convention and book signing circuit- check out his website www.psgifford.com for details. P.S. Gifford is a member of the Horror Writer's Association, lives in Lake Forest, California, is married, has a teenaged son, two dogs, one rabbit and an endless dream.
