George O'Connor is one the most balanced reader-writers we've ever encountered. The things on his nightstand, his favorite books and, in particular, the title he evangelizes (The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony) lead naturally to his fabulous Olympians series--the sixth title of which, Poseidon: Earth Shaker, will be published by Neal Porter/First Second on March 19. O'Connor got his start working at New York City's Books of Wonder bookstore. He lives in Brooklyn, N.Y.
