As a Lindt chocolate fan, he had the difficult task of living in Hershey for four years before moving to The Wilds -- the part of Pennsylvania in the north marked on maps with Here be there Dragons for another four years. Now in his civilized home in Carlisle, he sits and writes day in, day out for numerous publications. His dreams of stardom live on as he continues to play Irish music with the Laune Rangers and Old Timey with Medicinal Purpose. He is lactose intolerant and tried to strangle the doctor who told him he should avoid eating all chocolate. Including Hershey? Visit Jamie's website! |

Jamie O'Brien's writing is as dazed and confused as his origins. Born in England into an Irish-Italian family, he moved at a tender age to France where he met a German and moved to Austria. ... After a decade of playing Irish music in the Black Forest, he found a path that took him to the plains of Alsace and eventually the planes of TWA which took him to Pennsylvania, his adopted home.
