VJ Books Presents Author Paul Doiron!

Author Paul Doiron Paul Doiron was born and raised in Maine. He did his undergraduate English degree at Yale, and then an MFA in Creative Writing at Emerson College. He wrote his first novel as a teenager, but it wasn't until later in life that he decided returned to novel writing. Before becoming a full-time novelist, Doiron was a member of the Maine Arts Commission and Editor in Chief of Down East: The Magazine of Maine--he still holds the title of Editor Emeritus.

Doiron's first published novel, The Poacher's Son (2010), won a Barry Award and the Strand Critics Award for Best First Novel, as well as being nominated for an Edgar, an Anthony, a Macavity, a Thriller Award for Best First Novel, and the Maine Literary Award for "Best Fiction of 2010." That novel has now become a series, following his character Mike Bowditch, a Maine game warden.

His latest novel, Dead Man's Wake, is available now.

In addition to working on his books, Doiron is a member of the Maine Humanities Council and a Registered Maine Guide specializing in fly fishing and lives on a trout stream in coastal Maine.

He currently lives in Camden, Maine.
