About Paul Siefken
Paul Siefken grew up in New Orleans, down the street from Bayou Saint John, where he and his siblings spent time riding their bikes along the levee. Paul was living in Washington, D.C. when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. His parents, siblings and extended family were among the thousands of people who evacuated, forced to find housing for months after the devastating flood. Now in Pittsburgh, Paul and his family visit New Orleans regularly to enjoy family time and take in the food, music, and history of the great city.
Paul has worked in children’s television for 28 years, at Cartoon Network, PBS KIDS, and as president of Fred Rogers Productions. He’s written chapter books for Cartoon Network series The Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack and has had several short plays produced in New York. The upcoming historical fantasy Vernon Poche & The Ghosts of New Orleans is Paul’s first novel.
