About Andrew O'Connell
It was in Italy that Andrew discovered his passion for literature. Visiting a local bookshop, Andrew found very little in the way of books written in English. The bookshop held only a small collection of books in English, most of which were classics, but Andrew enjoyed reading them, and, unknowingly, began to lay the foundations for becoming a writer.
He returned to Australia in 2007, where he continued working as a teacher of English to speakers of other languages, and as an English language teacher trainer.
With a passion for theatre, Andrew produced three of his own short plays - The Clown and the Vampire, Death and the Little Girl, and The Man and the Mannequin - in a show called Three Unlikely Conversations, in 2010.
He later decided that the short plays he had written would be better as short stories so he set about rewriting them and, adding others, eventually published Eventyr: 12 Unlikely Conversations.
