Paolinelli published his first non-fiction book, From The Fields: A History of Prep Football in Turlock, California [26], [27]. He also signed with Oak Tree Press which released his first mystery-thriller of the Jack Del Rio series, Reservations [28].
2016[edit]
The second book of the Del Rio series, Betrayals [29], was originally slated to be published by Oak Tree Press but the Publisher relinquished rights to the series and W&B Books picked up the series. Paolinelli also appeared in two Sherlock Holmes anthologies released by Belanger Books.

Paolinelli released Escaping Infinity in January[33]. Shortly after, he reacquired the full rights to the Del Rio series from W&B Books and severed ties with the Loiacano Literary Agency, who had represented him since 2015. He released the third book of the Del Rio series, Endgames [34], and closed out the year by releasing, A Zombie Christmas Carol [35], a satirical parody aimed at certain online trolls he had been sparring with. He had one short story, The Misplaced Mystery Writer, that appeared in the Belanger Books anthology, Sherlock Holmes Adventures in the Realms of H.G. Wells [36]

In Secret Stairs: Tribute To Urban Legend [40], he wrote Nothing Ever Happens Here, which led off the anthology published by Silver Empire. He appeared in two Superversive Press anthologies, Planetary Anthology: Earth [41], with his story, Extinction Point, and in To Be Men [42] with his story, The Last Hunt.
