From daring escapes by tough women to chivalrous men swooping in to save the day, the creativity switch to Kishan Paul's brain is always in the 'on' position. If daydreaming stories were a college course, Kish would graduate with honors. And since it was not a college course, she got her graduate degree in social work instead.
When the stories in her head became unrelenting, she finally put them on paper and, in June 2015, published her contemporary romance, Blind Love, through Samhain Publications. Later that same year, she self-published her suspense/thriller, The Second Wife. Since its release, The Second Wife has been named The 2018 Pencraft Book of The Year Award for Literary Excellence, The 2016 Kindle Book Awards Winner, The 2016 McGrath House Independent Book Awards Winner, and The 2016 finalist for The Maggie Award for Excellence. She has also self-published, The Widow's Keeper, book two of The Second Wife Series and is currently finishing up The Deadly Match, the third and final book of the trilogy.
Kishan divides her time with writing, seeing clients in her counseling practice, and with spending time with her husband of twenty years and their two lovely children.

The grad student, Zachary Turpin, was scouring an online database of 19th century newspapers looking for unique names found in other Whitman works. It was then that Turpin unearthed the 36,000-word, six-part novella published anonymously in a New York newspaper in 1852. The rambling full title, Life and Adventures of Jack Engle: An Auto-Biography; In Which The Reader Will Find Some Familiar Characters, and the subtitle, A Story of New York at the Present Time, are distinct to Whitman and the literary time period.
