Paul Davids is an author, artist, and award-winning Hollywood film director. As an author, his most recent book is the ambitious 514-page non-fiction AN ATHEIST IN HEAVEN – THE ULTIMATE EVIDENCE FOR LIFE AFTER DEATH? It is co-authored with Professor Gary E. Schwartz, Ph.D., a scientist who is also a prolific author. In 1990, Lucasfilm contracted Paul Davids to co-write (with his wife, Hollace Davids) six STAR WARS books that weave stories featuring the STAR WARS characters that continue the STAR WARS saga after RETURN OF THE JEDI. Those books, which sold millions of copies in many languages, are THE GLOVE OF DARTH VADER, THE LOST CITY OF THE JEDI, ZORBA: The Hutt’s Revenge, MISSION FROM MOUNT YODA, QUEEN OF THE EMPIRE, and PROPHETS OF THE DARK SIDE.

He has written, produced and/or directed 12 feature films, mainly distributed by Showtime (ROSWELL, 1994) and NBCUniversal International Television (STARRY NIGHT, THE SCI-FI BOYS, JESUS IN INDIA, BEFORE WE SAY GOODBYE, and THE LIFE AFTER DEATH PROJECT), with a film slated for release in 2016: MARILYN MONROE DECLASSIFIED. His entertainment production career started with the classic, original TRANSFORMERS animated episodes. You’ll find his name on 79 of those Marvel Productions shows as a production coordinator, and he also wrote some of the longtime favorites. He is a graduate of Princeton University, where he was an award-winning poet, leading to the publication of three books of his poetry, beginning with POEMS TO READ WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAYS (AND OTHER WAYS TO DIE LAUGHING). Paul Davids’ very first book (also co-written with his Hollace Davids) is a cross between Hawaiian mythology and fiction about Mark Twain’s early travels. The legendary Stan Lee wrote the foreword. It is called THE FIRES OF PELE: MARK TWAIN’S LEGENDARY LOST JOURNAL.
