Brian O'Rourke: SPARTACUS FUISTI

Andy Whitfield, you will be missed.

Awful news about Andy passing away. At 39 years of age, just when he gets his big break, this happens.

REQUIESCAT IN PACE

Author Bio

I grew up in Marlton, New Jersey. The first story I wrote, at roughly age 7, was an adaptation of my favorite arcade game at the time: Dragon's Lair. It was more a graphic novel than a book, since I took the time to draw some nice illustrations and because thematically it was very mature. That was a joke. Looking back now, I'm fairly certain I didn't have the rights to the story, though someday...maybe someday...

I attended St. Joseph's Preparatory School, a private, Catholic, all-male high school in Philadelphia run by Jesuits. I have a profound respect for the Jesuits. That wasn't a joke. Most of the student body were Pennsylvanians, and when they heard I was from New Jersey, they assumed my family was either disgustingly rich or that we were farmers. Neither was true. Spending a decent amount of time out of South Jersey, I learned the hard way how the Garden State was the brunt of many a joke. Many of my friends from Northeast Philadelphia were fond of lambasting the state with the highest population density (that's number of people per square mile or whatever, not the stupidest population), and yet, all of these very same people spent most of their summers down the Jersey shore. I'm tempted to make a comparison to the alpha male who constantly pokes fun at gay men, but I think you get the idea.

I worked as an attorney for a couple of years in civil litigation, as a consultant in the pharma industry, and somehow, I still have my soul. Don't ask me how.

I'm back to working as an attorney and hope to someday write fiction for a living.
