An English author of Irish and Scandinavian descent, Stevie O’Connor started writing ghost stories at the age of seven. The teachers would invariably read these out to the class and she got hooked on writing, always with her head in a book or dreaming up stories. She then won the prestigious Edward Burne-Jones Award for Literature when only fifteen. Fifteen years later, she finished and published her first book with an independent London publisher and has been writing novels ever since, being lucky enough to live off her modest royalties.

“Writing is an intuitive and instinctive process for me. When I was little, I knew there was something magical about words. I was in awe of the library, the books appeared as infinite as stars, each with an

Sundays steeped in history of the sunday, once of no drinking, swearing, spitting or shopping, now not so much….I am resolved to write this blog more, to remain connected, not to freefall away in the cold of winter. At least to try….

Quotes by Stevie O'Connor  (?)

“The dead man's face was pale and bloodless. The fierce white lights in the morgue showed up every detail mercilessly and every last pore and pock-mark was revealed, the history of a life, now reduced to a mere handful of scars.
'Always nice to see you Mark, but what brings you in so late on Friday afternoon?' Lambert said nothing, staring at Petrie's corpse, before turning to the coroner. John Humby was older and getting close to retirement and the two had been friends for a very long time. Humby resembled a large blood-hound, the more so the older he got and he was smiling over at Lambert, who was still thinking about the murder.”
Stevie O'Connor, Under The Stones

“Sometimes at night I would look out and up at the glow rising up around me through the plastic and it would just make me shudder. It reminded me of larvae. We were like pale grubs in our eggs. When I got the horrors like that, I requested a little yellow pill from the dial-a-doc and flopped down into the fuzz along with everyone else.”
Stevie O'Connor, In A Mirror City

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

“In the desert there is no sign that says, Thou shalt not eat stones. — Sufi proverb”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale
