Paul Hansen

Paul A. Hansen, Ph.D.

From the time Paul first frustrated his parents and teachers by drawing airplanes all over his school books, flying has been a passion, culminating in the building of his own plane (1995-97), a GlaStar, seen here in the photo, which he still flies. He took his first flying lesson in a Piper Cub in 1959. See pictures and more details on pages in this website under "Flying." Paul intends for his novels to not only entertain but inspire his readers. Get ready for an exciting ride! All three books of the Star People Series (Sky Warriors; The General; Star Kids Mission) are now available as eBooks (for your favorite E-reader) and in paperback.

Getting immersed in stories has long nurtured Paul's life. From the time he was 9 years old, he rode his bike over gravel roads from his Kansas farm home to the public library in town, bringing back 2-6 books per week in his bike basket. Regularly perusing the family's two sets of encyclopedias further stimulated his already active imagination. A 45 year career as minister, management consultant, teacher, and psychotherapist allowed him to hone his writing while crafting sermons, training manuals, and articles in professional journals. A diverse set of hobbies, flying, fly fishing, camping, and photography help him stay grounded. Adventures in the jungles of Ecuador, the pampas of Chile, the cities and countries of Europe, and flights in his plane around the US provide a rich milieu for his novels and enhance their authenticity for the reader. He designed and built the passive solar home he and his wife occupy in Colorado.

A non-fiction book stems from his earlier career. SURVIVORS AND PARTNERS, Healing the Relationships of Sexual Abuse Survivors(1991), while still in print, is now available worldwide as an e-book for only $2.99.
