Paul Allen, totally paralysed after a devastating stroke, decided to use his remarkable mind to take his readers on a journey into a variety of thrilling and unforgettable situations.

This book 'Still Reaching For The Stars' is a series of short stories drawn from Paul's fascinating life and fertile imagination. Each story is loosely based on incidents in Paul's life, frequently amplified by his imagination.

Paul's first book, 'A Star In His Own Imagination', is a vivid autobiography about his life before and after his stroke. This book, his second, is a series of short stories: exciting, moral, romantic and murderous.

Acknowledgements
Paul Allen worked as a building surveyor, a systems analyst in IT and a photographer before being struck down by a devastating stroke in 2012. This has left him paralysed and unable to speak. Paul is an amazing man, not one to let a disability get in his way. Using just his left eye he is able to blink through the alphabet and build up words into sentences and paragraphs and so can in effect dictate his stories.
