Another Man’s Treasure kept me turning the pages to find out if Ted McCormick discovered the alleged treasure and how he resolved his romantic entanglement. The surprise ending was worth the wait!”

Patricia Starr, concert pianist, Mrs. Senior California, and author of Angel on My Handlebars

 

“What a terrific read!  O’Connor nailed it with Another Man’s Treasure. The reader is totally absorbed from the get-go, wondering what might be in the old Smith mansion and feeling the sexual tension between Ted and one of his clients. You can’t put this book down.”

Glen Sondag, author of Anything Other Than Naked

 

 “O’Connor’s Another Man’s Treasure quickly and quietly captures you and then carries you into a non-stop crescendo of mystery and intrigue.”

Michal McClure, author of Hawaiian Cowboys

 

 "The undercurrent of this entertaining and fun story carries messages about relationships. Almost every character has an issue with a spouse or parent. O'Connor subtly conveys their failure to candidly share their thoughts, feelings, concerns and needs. For some, the consequences are devastating."

Nancy Voorhees, literary consultant

 

“This captivating novel is spotted with humor while its characters struggle between righteousness and temptation, loyalty and betrayal, generosity and greed.  It leaves you with many issues to ponder.”

Nita Belles, author of In Our Backyard

 


As an FBI agent for 30 years, I found it refreshing to read a violence-free book that still captivated me with mystery and suspense, conflict and tension—all nicely balanced with romance and humor. Another Man’s Treasure has more than a little something for everyone.”

Jack Owens, author of Don’t Shoot! We’re Republicans!

 

“James O’Connor’s debut novel is destined for the best seller lists! Engaging from the first chapter, the characters are real and the plot irresistible. Make sure you have plenty of time when you crack it open. You will not be able to put it down!”

“The intangible actions and feelings we live with every day and take for granted are dissected and put back together in this interesting tale of ordinary people."

Julian Smith, author of Crossing the Heart of Africa

 

 "Jim O'Connor's Another Man's Treasure is a small piece of the great American literary dream. Just about everyone wants to write a book, but O'Connor has done so. Another Man’s Treasure should be required reading for anyone who has struggled with the blank page, the myriad ghosts of literature past, and the cluttered spaces of modern living."

Davis Schneiderman, chair of the English Department, Lake Forest College, and author of DRAIN and BLANK

 

 “Having wandered the wild Atlantic, the lonely jungles of New Guinea, and the haunted treasure grounds of the Caribbean, I was drawn to O'Connor's portrayal of people wandering in the uncharted landscape of the soul.”

George Houde, Chicago-based journalist and documentary producer

 

  “Another Man's Treasure is full of intrigue, flirtation, passion, and humor. It's a wonderfully entertaining tale from a first-rate storyteller.”

 “O’Connor weaves together two diverse plots in a way that keeps you reading, eager to discover the connection and the outcome. You need to read this book.”
