My first two books were illustrated children's books published by Lifevest Publishing in 2006. I finished eleven stories before publishing a book of 13 short stories, What If - An Anthology of 13 Short Stories, through Xlibris in Indiana. Since then, I've written 15 books and haven't stopped. My greatest influential authors are Micheal Crichton, Ann Rice, Stephen King, and Dean Koonce, with my favorite novel being All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.
I was invited to the Spooky Empire Convention in 2018 and 2019, consecutively, as a guest speaker for Q&A sessions. I did several book signing tours before relocating to Illinois, where my family lives. I was interviewed by Kate Delaney in 2020 about my What If book and my latest novel, Nightmare, which has recently received three 5-star reviews from Reader's Favorites. I published my book, Fractured Suture - Revelations of a Serial Killer, in 2023 for e-readers, soft covers, and hardback, in audiobook using a narrator from audible books. It received a 5-star review from Reader's Favorites, as well. I was interviewed on a local FM radio station, Fox News from Rockford, IL. and CBS News out of Champaign. They are both available online for review. I've completed and published two more novels in late 2023 and 2024, Death is an Escape & Doppelganger, which received a 5-star review from Rader's Favorites. Currently, I'm writing a science fiction thriller called Hoarder.

Faith Adamson is an extraordinary child. A miracle baby, Faith said her first words immediately after birth and easily picked up other languages barely spoken around her. Playing complex pieces on the pianoforte and creating medication well ahead of its time at such a young age, she is a prodigy. But underneath her captivating looks and exceptional intelligence lurks something dark. Wherever she goes, she leaves a trail of death and despair behind her. As Faith grows into a beautiful woman, she reaches the pinnacle of knowledge and has to discover herself and the powers she has in Hoarder by Kerry ONeal.
Set in America in 1880 and spanning a century, this book chronicles the life of Faith Adamson. We meet several notable people: Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, and Henry Ford II. I learned about many historical milestones in early America, such as World War 2, the rise of Hollywood, and the Great Depression. Faith, as a main character, is a paradox. She has no qualms about using people for youth and vitality, leaving them dead. Yet with no interest in fame, she voluntarily gives up her discovery of insula on the condition that a friend would have a lifetime supply; her foreknowledge of the future and wealth are used philanthropically toward former neighbor and friend, Katie, and several charities. The whole narrative is solely focused on Faith’s life, her achievements, and the use of her abilities to discover her place in the universe. I recommend Kerry ONeal’s Hoarder to lovers of supernatural and psychological horror.
