When he and Nancy are not traveling, they enjoy living in their hundred-year-old farmhouse in the Blue Ridge Mountains north of Asheville, North Carolina. There they garden, hike, write, work on their new website (www.asheville-mountain-magic.com) and develop new ideas for books and magazine articles. They are assisted in these endeavors by their newest family member, Cloe, a spirited tabby cat who showed up at their door one rainy night and never left.
Paul is a member of the American Society of Picture Professionals (ASPP), and the American Society of Travel Writers (SATW).
