Author Description

Paul Lane built his life through licensing and brought some of the most influential characters to fruition--CARE BEARS, STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, BARNEY, ROGER RABBIT, the list goes on. If you've been kicked down and don't know where to go, let Paul's book be your light in the dark. What can a Brooklyn street kid without formal high school and college education teach you about life? Simply put: everything. Paul Lane has been through it all-- losing a parent at a young age; watching a sister be given up at birth because of family poverty; being drafted into the Army; losing the love of his life to cancer, leaving him a widow with two children; and starting a business without any formal training. This memoir is a testament to the true strength of a human being. After so much loss, tragedy, and sadness, Lane reminds us all that life will always go on, and that the only way out is to continue moving forward and stay positive.
