I’m A.J. O’Connell.

I'm an author & a journalist. Last year I published my first book. My second book will be released this summer.

My books.

Check it out! "The Eagle & The Arrow" is my newest book, the second in my Resistance Series. It will be released by Battered Suitcase Press on June 11. It's pulp fiction. (Real pulp fiction, though, not like the movie.)

"Beware the Hawk" is my first book, published in 2012 by Vagabondage Press's Battered Suitcase Press.
