I'm Brendan O'Neill, a Los Angeles based writer. Connection to stories and the world around me saved my life (literally), and I post here with that spirit in mind. It means a great deal to me that you're here. Grateful for you!
I grew up in Massachusetts, but I wanted to live in the land of Double Indemnity and the Big Sleep. So I'm a Los Angeles-based writer, putting pen to paper every day.
Connecting with stories and the world around me pulled me through some terrible, dark times. I've experienced loss, depression, and (eventually) light at the end of the tunnel.
I write fiction, which you can find here— both finished projects and whatever current piece working on.
Every week, I share experience and thoughts on my writing process, fiction, and working through that pesky life stuff.
