Paul McGuire

Paul 'Dr. Pauly' McGuire is the author of five novels and the best-selling Lost Vegas. Originally from NYC, he lived in L.A. for a decade and now resides in Denver, Colorado. McGuire spent twenty years as a gambling reporter, traveling from Las Vegas to Monte Carlo to Melbourne, documenting the poker circuit. He also covered the gambling side of the NFL and NBA. His latest novel, The Kicker, delves into the dark underworld of gambling and pro football. McGuire's other novels — Fried Peaches, Guard This, and Faded — tell the stories of defiant artists, musicians, and writers caught in the grind of late-stage capitalism. His novels explore the tension between survival and authenticity in a world that keeps moving faster and caring less. Whether you're picking up your first Pauly novel or your fifth, you'll find yourself among the provocative artists who create because they must, even as the world crumbles around them.
