I’m a laid-back bloke who tries not to worry about matters I can't control,” says Writer Paul Guiton. Paul grew up on a sheep farm in Southwest NSW and lives with mental health challenges.

Paul’s new book  called 'Conaipara' centres around a fire that breaks out in a small town pub. “We travel back nine months from that event meet and learn about the key characters and the circumstances of the fire are gradually revealed,” he says.
