Bob O'Kelley

Two peoples are known for their tall tales, the Irish and Southerners. O’Kelley is both. Stories are in his blood; even so, they did not begin to flow until life’s lessons had been learned, age added, things seen, love lost and gained. Yet, he understands the young, and writes both to them and for them. O’Kelley is a common man, a working man who sees the world with working man eyes. Oddly, he served in both the Vietnam and Iraq wars, drafted into Vietnam after college, and in Iraq as a truck driver, and in Iraq he began writing to entertain and inform his colleagues, mostly younger, and with these writings, a new career was born. O’Kelley is currently writing his sixth novel. It’s in his blood. He just can’t help it.
