ONNELL
is the author of the American Faerie Tale series, a consultant, writer, blogger, and lover of kilts and beer, as well as a member of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America. Born in Naples, Italy, while his father was stationed in Sardinia, Bishop grew up in San Diego, California, where he fell in love with the ocean and fish tacos. After wandering the country for work and school (absolutely not because he was in hiding from mind-controlling bunnies), he settled in Richmond, Virginia, where he writes, collects swords, revels in his immortality as a critically acclaimed “visionary” of the urban fantasy genre, and is regularly chastised for making up things for his bio. He can also be found online at A Quiet Pint (
aquietpint.com
), where he muses philosophical on life, the universe, and everything, as well as various aspects of writing and the road to getting published.
