Paul L. Mathews is a former concept artist and costume designer with credits in TV, film and video games.

Recently, however, Paul has begun the process of re-inventing himself by following his true childhood dream — writing. He now hopes to bring the same flair and imagination to fiction as he did to design. You can see the results both here at The Deepening, and at his latest venture, the Valentine Chronicles — a website featuring a free serialised, illustrated sci-fi saga.

Paul L. Mathews short stories

Children’s Story by Paul L. Mathews

Tattered and torn, a toy teddy sets out to try to mend things himself. (Children’s)

Editor’s Note: We received this while Kaff was working on hiatus, furthering her education, but, recognizing the author, before forwarding it on to an “appropriate” editor here at The Deepening , I read it. Then, in glee, I forwarded it to Womblin for her opinion, and, well, both of us totally agreed — snag it! Paul does a completely wonderful version of Dr. Seuss in British format. Delightful. —zentao for Kaff

Kings and Queens by Paul L Mathews

The King, a destroyer of mythological creatures, scours the world in obsessive frenzy. But why? What might a creature as beautiful and pure as an angel have done to incite this cold and bloodthirsty wrath?

Editor’s Note: Paul Matthews shows us a mind bereft of compassion and care in this fantasy reflecting the lowest of human natures — greed. And he is merciless with it. A fine tale of the worst of humans, and of those innocents who, in a perfect world, should remain aloof and untouched. (Fantasy)

Enjoy the Silence by Paul L. Mathews

A strange little tale that will worm its way around your mind and pick at your brain. (fantasy)
