Author Biography:

Paul W. Feenstra is a historical fiction novelist. Meticulously researched and detailed, his character driven novels create a dramatic window into our chronicled and complex past. Set in beautiful and mysterious New Zealand, Paul's first novels, 'Boundary, ' 'The Breath of God' and 'For Want of a Shilling', detail early colonial life and the controversial impact colonialism had on native Maori. Says Feenstra, "History is about the untold story, and writing historical fiction is a wonderful way to present the past in a compelling and entertaining way." The medieval 'Falls Ende' eBook series- 'The Oath', 'Courser' and 'The King', have proven to be equally successful. Originally written as three short stories, they are emotional and captivating and been seamlessly compiled together to create a full-length print book, 'Falls Ende - Primus'. Since then Paul has completed a much-anticipated full length sequel, 'Falls Ende - Secundus' and a third, 'Falls Ende - Tertium is anticipated for release in early 2021. His latest project, Gunpowder Green, is a lighthearted collection of New Zealand short stories that chronicle New Zealand life as it once was. Humorous and even thought provoking, each story is varied and highlights rural living, a diverse culture and a forgotten yet very familiar lifestyle.
