ABOUT THE AUTHOR
BISHOP O’CONNELL is a consultant, writer, poet, blogger, and member of the New Hampshire Writer’s Project. Born in Naples, Italy, while his father was stationed in Sardinia, Bishop grew up in San Diego, California, where he fell in love with the ocean and fish tacos. While wandering the country for work and school, he experienced autumn in New England. Soon after, he settled in Manchester, New Hampshire, where he collects swords and kilts. But he only dons one of those two in public. He can be found online at A Quiet Pint (www.aquietpint.com), where he muses philosophical on the various aspects of writing and the road to getting published.
