Michael G. O’Connell has always been a storyteller. While he is a native of the Sunshine State, his work often takes a darker turn. He earned his first writing credit by participating in a Twitter experiment where he collaborated with Neil Gaiman and hundreds of others to write a novella. His work has appeared online and in print, including The Raven Review, Bacopa Literary Review, and the poetry anthology, Moss Gossamer. O’Connell lives in the Sunshine State and is currently writing and illustrating a middle-grade horror.
