Paul Wallis

I'm a professional freelancer. I work on sites in the US, Australia, Belgium, and Canada. I also write books, (13 self published on lulu.com and 3 on Smashwords).

I'm also a qualified horticulturalist, (landscape). I've written a lot of gardening material. One of the reasons I decided to sign up to HubPages was that I wanted to produce an integrated gardening site. Some of this material has previously appeared under my name on other sites, but it was all over the place, bits and pieces, not well organized.  I'm hoping to put together a properly constructed hub that will provide a lot of useful information for gardeners.

There's no such thing as a reformed gardener...

A year and a few months later, I'm still working 7 days a week on commercial writing and writing here when I can. I'm hoping to put a lot more creative, gardening, and other materials on my Hubs.

After writing the apparently much-reviled  "Send in the Morons" (anyone who thinks you can discourage a pro writer by downvoting is truly an idealist a la Candide) and "How to turn writers into battery chickens" I've realized my megalomania has found its true calling. There's no such thing as an ethical writer, either...

Note; The new e-book, Conversations for tiny minds, is an experiment for me in short format writing. I'd be interested to get some feedback. (Talk about Freudian slips- "feedback" was spelt "feeback" for months. Typical writer...)

A continuing acknowledgement: Thanks again for all the kind words. I'm still flooring it 7 days a week in my commercial writing, and I haven't been on the site as much as I'd like.

Update November 2011 : New e-book, Live Lazy and Love It, now on Smashwords

Update May 2012 New book on Amazon's CreateSpace- The Threat-Hamster Papers, my first book and a personal favorite series for my writing. This is a book originally written in 2000, since published on Lulu but I wanted to get some more exposure for this series. Sorry about the price, but if you get anything like the amount of fun out of reading it that I had writing it, it's not a ripoff.  

About the Amazon ads- These are actually selected by me as backups to the Hubs, not random ads. They're seriously recommended books.

IMPORTANT- Following the suprising success of the "Hey Hubbers! Are you undervaluing the commercial potential of your Hubs? You probably are!" Hub, I should probably mention that I do have a couple of books on writing on Lulu- Beating Writer's Block and Freelance Writing- Understanding the toughest trade in writing. I sympathize very much with those suffering from The Writer's Curse, and I think I can help. The freelance writing book is a basic intro to freelancing.
