In 2015, Paul had the opportunity to write a book with his daughter Heather. Monumental Providence: Legends of History in Sculpture, Statuary, Monuments and Memorials was described by RI Historian Laureate, Dr. Patrick T. Conley, as a "tour de force." It provides not only a history of the City's public art, but makes for a fun scavenger hunt for the entire family.  The picture board above is one example. 
Paul was the featured author at a book signing held at Books on the Square in Rhode Island's Capital City.  He was speaking about his book, Wired: A Shocking True Story of Political Corruption and the FBI Informant Who Risked Everything to Expose It.
