About
While teaching at Bettendorf High School, Paul Lewellan received the Distinguished Teacher Award by the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars. Casualties, his play about a school shooting, was awarded the Iowa Peace Prize by the Grinnell Peace Institute. He was honored by the Community Caring Conference as a Community Hero for efforts promoting peace, tolerance, and understanding in local education.
After retiring from the public schools, he became an adjunct instructor in the Communications Studies at Augustana College.
Paul lives in a cottage in Davenport, Iowa, with his wife of over forty years, Pamela Druger, his best friend and accountant. They share their home with an annoying little Shi Tzu named Mannie and a ginger tabby, Sunny. Since he first started writing short stories in 1996, he’s published over 150 of them.
