Kerry ONeal (1953) was born in Illinois, to Italian and Irish parents. His father was an English/French teacher, dance instructor, piano teacher, and dance choreographer, and his mother was the strength in his life, but they both encouraged him to always follow his dream. He has 2 daughters, Shawna & Angie, and 4 Grandkids, Chase, Carmen, Ava, & Ashton. Kerry was a textbook illustrator for Pao publishing and various publishers of college and high school textbooks and created logos and ads. His first book, "I Wish I Could Fly", an illustrated children's book, was published in 2006 along with its sequel "I Can Fly" in softcover and hardback. They are currently available in softcover and Kindle only, after the publishing company closed down.

Prior to returning to Illinois, he lived in Florida for 17 years, writing several short stories, and then published a book containing 13 stories, called "What If - An Anthology of 13 Short Stories". Each story originates from the conceptual basic question of the title, but then the similarity ends by delving into the paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi/horror, inspirational, and ghosts. Since then, he's published several books. Published 2 gothic novels (a werewolf and a vampire) that meet in each story, Reign of Adolphe' is available for Kindle and in paperback. 'When a Predator Dies', is about a vampire in the middle ages; also available in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle.

He wrote a novella entitled: 'Nightmare', and a book of short stories 'Amazing Tales'. Then, he finished and published a novel, a psychological thriller; Fractured Suture - Revelations of a Serial Killer. Completed the sequel for Reign of Adolphe', entitled Adolphe': Blood Moon Returns and recently finished Wilderness Legends
