Paul Carroll

Writing that puts the ‘stab’ into establishment.

Paul’s novels consistently let fly at the latest social trends in an entertaining mix of cutting observation, human drama, dark humour and compassion.

Born and brought up in Leeds, Paul has a degree in English Language and English Literature from the University of Manchester, and worked in PR for many years before becoming a full- time author.  Paul lives in Altrincham, Greater Manchester.

A marketing gamekeeper-turned-poacher, Paul is to be found peering behind the curtains of ‘the next big thing’ when he’s not writing.

Shaking Hands with Elvis (2024) is Paul Carroll’s fifth novel, following Don't Ask (Matador 2021), Trouble Brewing (Matador, 2017), Written Off (Matador, 2016), and A Matter of Life and Death (Matador, 2012).
