Paul has an engaging imagineering workshop for schools that features the creatures in The Magic Scales.
Paul’s nature and well-being books look at the history and wildlife in an area through a series of walks. The ‘Nature’ of West Dunbartonshire was released in August 2022. His talks on nature and well-being are very popular.
Paul went on to write the children's eco-thriller Windscape, which was nominated for the Grampian Children's Book Award.
Paul often talks to schools about environmental issues and discusses global warming and its possible effects. Paul’s next book, Sunny, was described as "a fast-moving adventure for children, aimed at tackling Scotland’s sectarianism and racism" by The Scotsman.
His fitness books - Old Bloke Goes Running and Old Bloke Goes Swimming – offer an irreverent look at getting fit in later life. ‘Hilarious!’ - The Scottish Sun. He presents on this too.

He has talked to more than 45,000 children in that time.
