An inspirational talk with Marc O’Brien, Author of a children’s book Peter the Peteeatrick Panda’s Playground and his latest book Sophomores in the Saddle. A Barry University Grad in Communication, he is a local celebrity and communicates sensitive topics through his characters in his books. Realizing that the skills that he obtained from Barry University in 1988 while studying Communication Arts were important in daily life, Marc O’Brien decided to take his trade in a whole new direction. Due to Covid 19 self-evacuation author Marc O’Brien now formally resides in Cocoa Beach, Florida, O’Brien has put together a strong portfolio of fictional works that challenge the reader to interpret and learn from his writings. Blue Note Publications were the first to bring his thoughts to the public when they assisted O’Brien through self-publishing Peter The Peteeatrick Panda’s Playground, Peter The Peteeatrick Panda and the Pandy Chip Pancakes and A Special Person to Ride. https://www.austinmacauley.com/author/obrien-marc
