About Joey
Joey O’Connor was raised by fourth-generation morticians and lived to tell about it. His emotionally moving stories reflect authentic characters with strengths and flaws, who overcome obstacles as they navigate the high-stakes challenges of love, desire, grief, and loss. As an Ironman athlete, Joey lives with the intimate knowledge that writing is an endurance sport.
Joey is an award-winning author of 21 books and screenplays. He lives in San Clemente, where he loves to go to the beach, read, and then, fall asleep.
Unique traits: I have danced with the mudmen of Asaro.
