When Brynn O 'Connor penned her first novel at the tender age of twelve it was so bad she put it away and didn't take a look at it for nearly 12 years. On a lark, on her 23 birthday, she decided to take it out and polish it up before sending it off too randomly selected publishers. The response she received was overwhelming: "Dear Brynn, please don't waste anymore of our time..." "Dear Ms. O 'Connor, please don't waste any more trees..." "Dear Brynn O 'Connor, please don't!" Needless to say Ms. O 'Connor abandoned her dream of writing in favor of a more practical approach to making a living having after receiving multiple bites from the acting bug, the singing bug, the painting bug and the golfing bug! But in the end they were all just multi colored splashes on the windshield of life and in the end she chose to marry rich and make babies. The rich part didn't work out so well but she did end up with two beautiful boys named Ethan and Diego, and an abandoned cat named Chrissie who came by for a visit one day and never left. Turns out the husband was only temporary and the cat permanent; funny how life is. Then one day Brynn began penning romance novels on the backs of rejection letters and the rest is history. She now lives in the beautiful San Francisco bay area where with the help of her cat she taps out her stories on her laptop and dreams of the day she can become an artist.
