Discover Paul’s Story

I’d be lying if I told you I’ve always dreamed of writing a novel. The only thought I had about writing a book in the last thirty years was about lessons learned in business. I thought that would be boring, so it never got any momentum. 

I had major back surgery in the fall of 2024 and was told I’d be laid up for four to six weeks. My wife asked me what I would do with all that time. I jokingly told her, “Maybe I’ll write a book.” 

I had an idea I thought would make a great book, so I started writing. ‘Black Void’ just came out. Every chapter I wrote led to the next. I knew how the story should unfold and how I wanted it to end. I wrote the entire book in less than six weeks. Now, I guess I’m an author. 

So, how does someone who has never written anything longer than a press release write a book? It’s even worse than that. When I graduated high school, I had never read a book and could barely write. During my first semester in Junior College, a great instructor taught me how to be a student. I owe him a lot. I wish I could remember his name. 

I did well in my previous career. I went from Tech to CEO, saw the world, and met many great people. I have a wonderful wife and four children. I guess you could say I’ve lived a blessed life.

What Readers Are Saying

“Black Void was a stunningly exciting read with a highly creative story line. The characters and their project were very admirable, interesting and thought-provoking. I was unable to put the book down and the ending did not disappoint! I cannot wait to find out what happens next; I hope the second book will be available soon.”
“Paul Yantus’ debut novel marks the return to the era of techno thrillers made famous by titans the likes of Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy. Intricately plotted, technically savvy, and brimming with action and character development — Black Void has it all.”
“I was truly impressed with Yantus’ ability to weave together a story touching on the tropes of so many different genres (Sci Fi, Thriller, Action, Adventure), and it left me wanting more. I am truly looking forward to seeing what he comes up with next.”
