Paul Lewellan retired from education after fifty years of teaching. He lives and gardens on the banks of the Mississippi River with his wife Pamela, his Shi Tzu Mannie, and their ginger tabby Sunny. He has recently published fiction in New Croton Review, True Chili, Blood and Bourbon, Jupiter Review, and Holy Flea Lit. Although he doesn't believe life begins at 74, it does get more interesting.
