Meet the Author

Paula Minydzak is a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her parents grew up across the street from each other in a small town where most people worked in the steel mills.

Several of her characters are based on family members and other Pittsburghers. Paula’s debut novel, The Firstborn Son, became a finalist in the NJ Romance Writers Best First Book category in 2023. She is an excellent tailor and patternmaker as shown through her IMDb page listing her costuming work on two full-length films.
