Born in southern California, P.A. O'Neil experienced what might be considered culture shock when her family moved to a small town in Washington State. The year was 1970, and the community at the time was not culturally diverse. Proud of her Mexican and Irish heritage, or "Smoked Irish" according to her father, she learned what it meant to be simultaneously in the minority and the majority. P.A.

Her books, Witness Testimony and Other Tales, as well as Sherlock Holmes's Two Sides of the Same Coin, and In For A Penny, are available on Amazon.
