Biography

My name is Mark O'Neal, and I graduated from Prairie View A&M University with a degree in Business. I'm married, I've been in banking for over a decade, and some of my hobbies include basketball, bowling, reading suspense novels, writing and traveling. I reside in Dolton, Illinois; a suburb of Chicago. My newly published fiction novel is called Ulterior Motives. Ulterior Motives is a crime drama that takes place in the city of Chicago. Maurice Ousley is the main character, and he's a rising pro basketball star who comes back home for Mother's Day weekend to spend time with his family. Soon afterward, he is faced with the ultimate life altering decision that will change everything as he knows it. He experiences heartache, betrayal and love in this fast-paced thriller.

Inspiration

I didn't discover a passion for writing right away, and it took some very intense life experiences (some positive and some negative) to help me realize that writing was my calling. Success hasn't come easy for me, but through hard work, I'm able to mold my life lessons into writing that is bold and captivating to many avid readers.
