Autor

Paul Smith is a Canadian author, advocate, and storyteller whose writing explores resilience, connection, and the quiet magic of unexpected perspectives. A former registered nurse who worked in high-stakes ICU environments, Paul acquired PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) - an experience that reshaped his life and ultimately led to an early retirement. Writing became his sanctuary, a way to process trauma and rediscover hope. Overcrowded at the Zoo marks his third collection of standalone short stories featuring anthropomorphic animals, collectively referred to as The Zoo, blending wry humor, emotional depth, and a touch of the surreal to examine themes of identity, community, and the complexities of coexistence. When he isn't crafting tales of talking critters, Paul lives in Canada with his Yorkshire Terrier, Lily, who (unlike his fictional characters) stubbornly refuses to engage in philosophical debates-though she excels at demanding treats. A proud left-hander, he believes storytelling is both an act of healing and an invitation to see the world anew.
