After several decades of a highly successful New York marketing career, film school, professional writing, public speaking, and travel blogging experience, Alfred O’Neill has always been a collector of stories and dreamed of writing novels. But it took the tragedy of losing his wife to cancer, and homage to their love, to push him to finally get around to writing novels.
His debut novel, Even a Pandemic Can’t Stop Love and Murder, is a romance/thriller that takes place in the mid-2020s and is based on a true story. Even Climate Change Can’t Stop Love and Murder, Vol. 2: Paying the Price continues the adventures of Ginger and Alby, as they fall in love while always immersed in troubles that just seem to find them.
Funeral of Lies, a stand-alone psychological thriller, is O’Neill’s newest published novel and like Vol. 1 of the Love and Murder series is also based on a true story, though heavily fictionalized.
From a childhood marked by wiretaps, mob dinners, and FBI agents following his father, O’Neill learned to understand the complexities of love, crime, and human behavior that drive right and wrong, good and evil. Despite all of his own life’s more challenging lessons, O’Neill knows that love will always win.
O’Neill is currently outlining a novel entitled Guilt, also based on a true story of his father’s, this one about his federal trial court case and conviction and its aftermath. In addition, author O’Neill is in the plotting-out stage of a cozy detective series entitled The Blow-Ins about an American couple who is forced to hide out in a small Irish town.
