Dominique Paul
Dominique Paul grew up in a Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, D.C., and received her BA in English from the University of Maryland, College Park. The Possibility of Fireflies, her first novel, was published by Simon & Schuster in October 2006 to rave reviews. Kirkus Reviews hailed Fireflies as “sensitively written…immediately gripping and emotionally intense.” TeensReadToo.com raved, “Every so often a book comes along that is so good it feels more like it grew than it was written.”
The Possibility of Fireflies has been optioned to be a motion picture and is currently in pre-production. Meanwhile, Dominique is working on her second novel and writing for several magazines including Marie Claire and Bark!
When she isn't writing, Dominique enjoys being active by practicing yoga and pilates, hiking, rafting and walking with her 11-year-old Boston Terrier, Bella.
“Just then, a singly firefly flashes its light, then another. Within a minute the darkness is filled with fireflies, twinkling their silent melody. I think about all the people in the world, how each of us has a place where we belong. I wonder then what my place looks like. Because I am not there, and I am not sure I have ever seen it.”
