Author Interview with Memoir Writer Kevin O’Connor (Writers on Their Writing Process)
My author interview with memoir writer Kevin O’Connor in the Writers on Their Writing Process series was very fascinating as we discussed his memoir that began as 700 letters written from family members. Kevin is an accomplished storyteller and genealogist dedicated to preserving family histories through writing and picture collections. His extensive career in education, spanning nearly five decades, included roles as a teacher, principal, professor, and curriculum coordinator in various states.
Kevin is also active in community theater and the SMART Ride, a charity bicycling event. He lives in Ft. Lauderdale with his husband, Leon, and their blended family of five sons and seven granddaughters. Today, we'll discuss his memoir, "Two Floors Above Grief," exploring lessons from his upbringing in a funeral home, balancing family life with business, and organizing ancestral letters. Please welcome Kevin O’Connor.
