Paula Houseman
author : Paula HousemanPaula Houseman grew up in an episode of South Park on an endless loop.\n\nOr so it seemed. What felt like hard yakka at the time is now a fabulous cache of raw twaddle to draw on.\n\nWhen Paula first realised that her early, quasi-fictional home environment had distorted her understanding of selfhood, she became curious about the concept of identity. As a graphic designer, she’d already been creating business ones for others through imagery. \n\nBut scratching the surface wasn’t enough for someone who asked a lot of questions. So, she went to university and, majoring in linguistics and sociology, she learned about the power of word usage to shape our identities and realities. \n\nStill not enough, though. \n\nPaula dug deep into the substratum until it felt like she was schlepping through an ancient myth. Or an episode of South Park. It was like a homecoming. \n\nThere, she really got that life is essentially an ancient myth in modern dress, and she uncovered and dusted off her dirty-girl muse.\n\nPaula’s style has a satirical edge because life’s like that. It also has depth because life should be like that. \n\nAn award-winning author of earthy chick lit and romantic comedy, Paula could blow her own trumpet, but she well knows that having readers do it for her carries more weight. From her Ruth Roth series: \n\nODYSSEY IN A TEACUP: ‘Paula Houseman is found treasure. My reading of this vibrant and cleverly amusing story was frequently and forcefully interrupted as I was laughing so hard I could not see.’ DJ Sakata\n\nCUPID F*CKS UP: ‘It's one of the funniest, sexiest romantic comedies I've ever read.’ Jennifer Macaire\n\nMY TROYBOY IS A TWAT: ‘Ms. Houseman’s writing is magic. She combines romance, love, psychology, mythology, quirky characters you can’t help but fall in love with, and other quirky characters you’ll want to kick in the pants—hard.’ Sayara St. Clair\n\nJoin Paula Houseman’s mailing list on her website at https://paulahouseman.com\nFollow her on Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulahouseman\nFacebook at https://www.facebook.com/PaulaHousemanAuthor\nGoodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/PaulaHouseman\nContact Paula at [email protected]\n View more >>Paula Houseman Book Series
