Author Bio:
Paulie Gatz was born in a gutted Midwestern city to a working-class family that would be ripped apart by the opioid crisis and the mass, overseas exportation of American industrial jobs. Despite spending large chunks of his youth homeless or living with foster families, Paulie never stopped believing in the American Dream. Supporting himself full-time with odd jobs that included custodial work and fast-food service among other things, Paulie put himself through college with straight A’s. He would go on to graduate from one of the nation’s top law schools after being accepted everywhere that he had applied, including Yale, Harvard, Stanford, and the University of Chicago. Today, Paulie practices law and writes novels in his spare time, a hobby he finds relaxing and rejuvenating. He hopes you will enjoy reading his books as much as he enjoys writing them.
