About this author

'Untouchable', his first novel, will be published by Tyrus Books in May, 2011. He lives with his family in Los Angeles.

Scott O'Connor said "yes" to attending 'Untouchable' Book Launch at Skylight Books date: May 17, 2011 05:30PM location: Skylight Books, 1818 North Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, CA, The United States description: A launch party for author Scott O'Connor and his new novel, 'Untouchable'. “O’Connor’s prose is as beautifully terse as his plot…It’s an affecting mix, squeezing the reader’s emotions so that when the myth of the “perfect” family begins to dissolve through flashbacks, it feels like the inevitable waking from a halcyon dream.” — Daniel Kraus, Booklist
