PAUL MC DONNELL

 My name is Paul McDonnell, and I’m a professional songwriter and performer with over thirty years in the music industry. My book, Wise Ass, is a work of fiction inspired by my personal experiences and the places I’ve visited along the way.

 One writer has compared “Wise Ass” to a modern twist on Some Like It Hot, and I believe it’s humorous tone, engaging characters, and fast-paced narrative will appeal to readers who are looking for a break from the heaviness of life. 

A fun, easy read with darker tones for fans of Richard Curtis, Kristen Wiig, Nick Hornby or Ricky Gervais.

What makes this book unique is the integration of music. These songs will help launch and sustain the book’s identity, and I am confident they will resonate with readers and listeners alike. Radio/TV interviews promoting this book could include live performances of songs from the book. Eg Superman(link attached).

My background as an award-winning songwriter, including winning the IMRO Christy Hennessy Award for Songwriting in 2011 and 2014, has equipped me with the skills to craft the accompanying music. 

Warm regards,
Paul McDonnell
