Debut Novel:

In his debut novel, The Bag of Dreams, Paul channels this relentless spirit into Sophie—an aspiring entrepreneur whose life is a tapestry woven with courage, authenticity, and unwavering values.

This 90,000-word journey follows Sophie as she embraces the winds of change with open arms and a heart set on growth, unearthing an old leather satchel stuffed with forgotten wishes—letters, journals, and her AI guide, think of her 90s grunge soul (think Counting Crows and R.E.M.).

About Sophie's Story:

Sophie’s story unfolds against the vibrant sprawl of Guangzhou, a modern nexus of opportunity where she sips coffee with trade directors at Starbucks one day and dodges whispers in its chaotic backstreets the next.

Here, fresh wounds reopen with Georgina, a grandiose ex-friend who sweeps in with a swirl of designer ego and a steely expression, her entourage trailing like shadows. Once a confidante, Georgina now wields power like a weapon, her sharp lawyer, Ms. Davis, slicing through tense negotiations that threaten Sophie’s dreams—echoing the damage once inflicted by King, Jason, and Carm. Against this chilling force, Sophie confronts a lifetime of toxic patterns: King’s control from a world away, Jason’s snake-bite deceit, Carm’s deceptive charm, Georgina’s betrayal, and a father, William, whose grandiose dominance once silenced her ambitions before he faded into a victim’s isolation during his final two years.

Betty, her gentle mother with a heart as kind as Sophie’s own, had been her quiet champion until her death, two years before William’s decline.

Now, bolstered by Lee, her steady romantic anchor; Khan, her wise mentor; Elizabeth, her warm ally; and a tight-knit crew—partner Hero, videographer Sarah, and business partner Jerry—Sophie stitches together a life of meaning from the ashes of loss. She’s driven by Hope, her daughter who shines across realities, a soul of intelligence and potential Sophie fights to reclaim.

Her dreams, once dismissed, turn prophetic, guiding her to outmaneuver Georgina’s icy grip and build a future that mirrors her deepest desires—a testament to resilience and the power of aligning heart and values. It proves that without Hope, there’s nothing to fight for, but with her by your side, every snake can be slain in a city that thrives on the edge of impossibilities.

Inspired by his own adventures in global trade and manufacturing, and a knack for finding light in unlikely places, Paul crafts Sophie Xi Fairchild’s tale as a testament to the magic that unfolds when one aligns their heart with their values and dares to leap into the unknown.

When he’s not plotting brand development strategies or pouring his soul into AI-driven writing during long nights, Paul enjoys studying people’s reactions and wrestling with life’s deep questions over a plate of chicken feet, developing creative ideas with a cold Tsingtao beer in hand, or sitting on rooftops pondering the meaning of life—which, naturally, is 42.

It’s a story that proves, as The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy might hint, the universe has a funny way of hiding answers in the oddest places. Paul’s here to remind us: DON’T PANIC—your dreams are closer than you think. Marvin, if anyone bothered to ask him, would say the meaning behind the ultimate question is simple: focus on your WHY, your passion, and be true to yourself. By taking consistent action to improve or innovate, you’ll eventually find your 42. He’d also suggest that if you’re still searching for your why, grab a towel and an AI Guide and try hitchhiking to another galaxy.

I hope you enjoy the other audio chapters on YouTube and can offer support for this creative work of self-discovery, empathy, and understanding.

Just a reminder: this is a work of fiction. While the author may have drawn inspiration from various sources, any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or real events is entirely improbable—to a factor of 2 to the power of 276,709 to 1 against—and suggests filing legal complaints with Marvin at the Complaints Department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation.

Disclaimer, according to The Hitchhiker’s Guide: Marvin is smart. He’s also very annoying. He knows both of these things, and they bother him, but he cannot change either one. Marvin is the coworker you avoid until you absolutely need help with something.
