James D O'Brien

James D. O’Brien “Shamus” hails from Farmington, Connecticut, and is an artist, using his life experiences and artwork to inspire his storytelling. This children’s book marks his first venture into writing, developed from a simple moment with Grigio, his dog, digging in the yard. As a child, James often imagined digging holes that led to faraway places—a fantasy that has now come to life in his book. Reach out and say on instagram @jamesd.obrien.
