Re: Noted living Accringtonians.

Mick O'Shea - Author, born Accrington.

Mick O'Shea is 42 years old. he lives with his wife Jakki, in his home town of Accrington, Lancashire, and works in the new Business Department at Compass Finance PLC. The 'semi-fictional' Only Anarchist Are Pretty was Mick's attempt at novel writing (the manuscript's first draft was completed in spring 2000), but it was a fantasy-adventure featuring his two cats, Oscar and 'Big' Sid, that produced his first published novel The Zootopia Tree (2002). He still enjoys listening to the Sex Pistols and honestly rates Never Mind The Bollocks as the best album of all time. His other musical tastes are pretty much 'old school' as well, in that his other favourite bands are The Clash, Stiff little Fingers, The Ramones & Guns 'N' Roses.
Mick's other passion is military history, especially the Battle of the Little Bighorn of 1876, and he has recently completed a manuscript based on the legendary battle and the life of its most celebrated participant General George A. Custer.
