Portrait of Alfred O’Neill

About the author

A.E.S. O’Neill

also known as Alfred O’Neill

Framing my life and writing is the fact that my father was a con man and mob money launderer who used his wages to pay for my very upright Quaker education, which emphasized a principled life. My natural tendency to embrace contradictions starts there and falls across all my writing.

I may write thrillers and mysteries…but just to be clear: Love wins.
