Pat O'Brien is a writer/editor for a federal agency. An avid storyteller, he will often regal his wife with elaborate made-up stories about some random person they see walking or sitting on a park bench. A lifetime crime-fiction fan, he is usually found reading, and rereading, novels from David Baldacci, John Grisham, James Patterson, Jeffery Deaver, or any other crime novelist he can get his hands on. He earned his degree in Communications, while taking many writing courses including creative writing, from Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. After college, he spent over a decade on the air in Buffalo radio and television. He never tires of speaking to, or about, his kids and stepchildren. Pat, his wife, Kerry, and their mighty 8-pound Yorkie-poo, Penske, make their home on the shore of Lake Erie just south of Buffalo. See less
