Paul Lavender was born in Gateshead in the north-east of England in 1968. He now lives in Worcester in the West Midlands. He is still a supporter of Gateshead F.C though!

He is married and has a son.

In his working life, he has been an Electrician and a Manager for a logistics company but is currently a stay at home dad.

The Eighth God is his first novel; the second will be called The Sect of Seven, and the third will be Helekose. Paul expects the series to run into eight books, but you never can tell with these things!
If you’re looking for TheEighthGod, you can sometimes find him on an Xbox!
