(Photo: Paul Lamb)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Paul Lamb loves attention! In a world of desperate reality show &#8220;celebrities&#8221; and pop star divas, Paul Lamb rises above them all, shouting his own praises from rooftops for all to hear.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s everywhere these days!<\/p>\n<p>Okay, if you know Paul Lamb, you know he cringes at the thought of self promotion even more than I do. He&#8217;s a writer who lets his words do the talking; he&#8217;s one of the last people who would shout for attention. That&#8217;s just one of the many cool things I know about the guy from what interactions I&#8217;ve had with him online over the past several years.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Paul&#8217;s Stuff<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Paul&#8217;s been busy, lately. There&#8217;s a cool interview with him, <a title=\"An Interview with Paul Lamb.\" href=\"http:\/\/martiningham.blogspot.com\/2013\/03\/author-interview-paul-lamb.html\">here<\/a>. You can read a recent story of his, <a title=\"&quot;The Lonely Road,&quot; by Paul Lamb\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pendulinepress.com\/author-article-archives\/the-lonely-road\/\">here<\/a>. And you can always follow what he&#8217;s up to <a title=\"Paul Lamb's blog.\" href=\"https:\/\/paullamb.wordpress.com\/\">at his blog<\/a>. (You can also read more of his writing, there.)<\/p>\n<p>Paul writes some great stuff. I have no reason to say that, other than it&#8217;s something I believe to be true. If it&#8217;s something with a fantastic element, like his story <a title=\"Paul Lamb's Race to the Summit.\" href=\"https:\/\/paullamb.wordpress.com\/race-to-the-summit\/\">&#8220;Race to the Summit,&#8221;<\/a> or <a title=\"&quot;Night Train to Kisumu,&quot; by Paul Lamb.\" href=\"https:\/\/paullamb.wordpress.com\/night-train-to-kisumu\/\">something based on reality<\/a> &#8212; it&#8217;s all good. If I said otherwise, it&#8217;s not like Paul would come down from Kansas City to kick my ass. In the chats we&#8217;ve had in blog comments, revealing a bit about a person from what I know about him online, I&#8217;m not surprised Paul writes as well as he does. He looks up to some great writers and has <a title=\"Burning Thoughts\" href=\"http:\/\/paullamb.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/07\/burning-thoughts\/\">a place to get away from it all<\/a> and think.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Promoting Others<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On a <a title=\"Men in Gorilla Suits: Last Seen...Democratizing Content!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.meningorillasuits.com\/2013\/03\/07\/migs05-last-seen-democratizing-content\/\">recent episode of the Men in Gorilla Suits podcast<\/a>, I mentioned that I&#8217;m terrible at promoting myself, but totally fine with promoting writers I admire.<\/p>\n<p>I admire Paul&#8217;s writing, so this post is just to point some people his way&#8230;because he <em>so<\/em> loves the attention! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Lamb loves attention!
