Real Name: Brendan Halpin
About My Library: Mostly recent purchases, along with some stuff that's touched me enough to hold on to. I lived in very small places for 15 years, so I let a lot of books go.
About Me: I am a writer. I've had 3 novels and 2 memoirs published, as well as a young adult novel. I'm a former high school English teacher. I'm a parent. I was widowed in 2003. I was married again in 2005. I'm a dog owner. I am bitter and snarky on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside.
