Featuring a sci-fi thriller author

Presenting an interesting feature, with the focus on the sci-fi thriller and author Paul West:

Paul West was born and raised in New York City; he currently resides in Harlem, where he has lived for much of his life. He attended NYU, attaining a B.A. in History and after graduation, he worked in the education and non-profit world for many years. In need of a change of pace, he eventually switched paths, finding new careers in advertising and then the world of fashion.

His novel, First Cause, was originally conceived as a screenplay in the early 1990s, when West was still an undergraduate; the project was shelved for nearly a decade, before he began to work on it again in 1999.

Paul West is a sports enthusiast, student of people, lover of music, voracious reader and fervent believer in human possibility.
