Behind Every Great Magician is Not-a-Magician (or a magician who doesn’t mind staying in the background).
People are often surprised when they learn that I didn’t marry a Daemonolater or occult practitioner of any ilk. My significant other is a proud, but open-minded atheist.

I noticed a lot of people visit this site from my author pages on Amazon. More specifically, the S. Connolly author page. Because of this I thought it appropriate to take a moment to briefly discuss this website and my spirituality.
