Kevin O’Neill was born in 1972. His love of writing started when he was
about 7 years old and wrote a music trivia book – written out long hand
on old scrap paper. The material for the book was obtained from some
old records found around the house. Since that time his works have
evolved into more technical writing – as his best selling book to date
is the C++ For Kids book which he sells off his website. Mr. O’Neill is
married and has a son and daughter – they reside in Canonsburg, PA.
