A Writer With Character—Storytelling and More
Author Paul Cicchini, M.Ed., Ed.S., NCSP, GOTJ is a nationally-certified school psychologist. He specializes in character education and is certified in the new field of Social Emotional Learning (SEL)/Character Ed.
Paul’s latest written work is a middle-grade mystery, The Central Park Irregulars, which follows a young group of friends caught up in an investigation in the famous park and who use its notable landmarks to help solve a crime, reminiscent of adult author Dan Brown who incorporates international sites such as The Louvre and The Vatican in his bestselling novels. He hopes his young readers come away from his story with a sense of adventure that stays with them long after the book is closed.
Paul’s earlier written works include the Amazon best-selling Young Cyrano, a fictionalized account of the teenage life of Cyrano de Bergerac. It received a five-star rating from the respected READERS’ FAVORITE website. His third novel, The Essentialz, is about a team of teenage superheroes that undergo the same challenges as modern teens and was an International Impact Book Award winner for 2024. Paul also received the CREA Global Award for his articles that were featured in BRAINZ Magazine. He also made the famous Marquis Who’s Who in America for 2024.
Much like his hero Cyrano, Paul aspires to be a well-rounded Renaissance man. His list of personal accomplishments includes cable television host (Cars Weekly Video Magazine-Philadelphia), sports journalist, adjunct professor, martial artist, fencer, archer, semi-pro football player, high school football coach, collegiate football scout, Templar Knight (rank of Knights Commander), Washington lobbyist for education, and award-winning webmaster.
