I’m Paul Andrew Sneddon, a writer and musician from Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. Fifteen books of stories, poems and flash fiction about ordinary lives, memory, work, love, survival, and the places that shape us.
THE NOVEL
Burn
A man at rock bottom, a guitar, and the fight back up.
THE NEW COLLECTION
Death

THE COLLECTION
Shore
January to March 2026. Built out of real days, hard weather, music, and the need to make something real.
