Mask of Connor

About the Book

Mask of Connor is an informative and exciting fictional tale of the 1930s in remote Appalachia. The pragmatism of the thrilling scenario has been well researched and documented. The long misunderstood main character, Connor, leads the reader and his family on an enchanting yet bewildering trail of contradictions. Today’s research might even diagnose him as psychopathic. Connor is never boring as he manipulates his kin in a fairly lawless society with his cunning, unpredictability, and lack of empathy. He provides love, confusion, and hatred from his long anticipated and laborious birth to illicit moon shining, daring robberies, multiple incarcerations, and exciting chases until an unexpected and final demise.

About the Author

Jim Callahan was always inadvertently motivated by the written word. He attended the University of Illinois and graduated Purdue with a latent interest in writing. He then went on to specialize in writing many corporate documents and programs while still finding time to travel to remote parts of the world to study and communicate the mores of primitive and third-world societies to the media. Appalachia eventually attracted his wanderlust, and many hours were spent in the area, resulting in his authoritative book Lest We Forget: The Melungeon Colony of Newman’s Ridge.
