Paul Rials

Paul Rials is a debut author with a lifelong imagination finally making its way to the page. A husband, father, and man of faith, he finds his greatest inspiration in his beautiful wife, Harley, and their two amazing kids, Lylah and Levi. This book is lovingly dedicated to them—and to his sister Samantha, whose memory lives on through the magic of these pages.

Born and raised in Mississippi, Paul grew up fascinated by hidden worlds he first discovered through television. Whether it was watching Josh Gates explore the globe or getting lost in countless movies and shows, his curiosity never stopped growing. Though he never considered himself much of a reader, he always believed in the power of stories—especially the kind that bring families together.

When he is not writing, Paul promotes independent wrestling events and hunts for vintage toys.

The Adventures of BIGsby County is his first step into a world he has long dreamed of sharing.
