About Andy
A military veteran, retired highway patrolman and medical worker, Andy O’Hara lives in Sacramento, California with his wife, Susan. With a lifetime of travel around the world and experiences he never imagined, Andy has had a wealth of experience with people he admired – and those he didn’t. His experiences have taken him through the Vietnam years, culture wars, and the rewarding parts of serving the public in a police uniform. Hospitalized with PTSD after almost 25 years, he had to hang up his uniform, struggle through recovery, and find another satisfying career as a hospital medical assistant.
With a youngster’s unfulfilled dream to be a teacher and writer, Andy still found time to assist other police officers with job related trauma, record his experiences, and translate them into the writing that has culminated his journey. With three books, he continues to search out the best in people, their experiences and their dreams so he can share them with others.
Dreamers get to do that.
About Andy's Newest Book, "Short Stories for Dreamers"
Life’s full of surprises, good and bad, and we learn this only by going through them. Bringing us joy are those who can love and respect us, and bringing us grief are the many who are incredibly cruel and lack a true conscience. You’ll find both in this humble collection of tales that lead you from the gladness and ecstasy of one soul to the disappointment and, perhaps, even sorrow of another. They will all lend you a greater understanding of your own dreams and the key you have to making them come true.
Perhaps, beyond these simple stories, you'll find a new appreciation for your own struggles or defeats and realize that there are those for whom forgiveness is possible but never possible for others. At the same time, perhaps you'll realize that life really does go on, far beyond our mortal lives. We abide; we try our best to cheer the dark instead of cursing it. Only then can the good travel with us after this life and not be taken away.
Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's always a good time for dreamers.
