Other information:
Former G2.
Irishman.
Had a thing for short shorts and the women who wore them.
Can do an impeccable American accent.
From the night he was burned by G2: And all he remembered about the whole bloody affair was waking up in the water with blood on his hands and the memory of those boots. He’d been able to remember the dead girl and Rory’s body and that the bonds were gone. He’d woken up face down and nearly drowning with no recollection of how he’d gotten there. One minute he’d been staring at his brother’s boots and the next he’d been in the water. After he’d gotten out of the water and realized just how fucked he was, he’d called Ian Taggart. Eight hours later, he’d been on a plane to the States.
Worked for McKay-Taggart for years.
Partners with Erin.
While he was in the field for years, he now runs much of the investigative arm of MT.
Liam also owns a piece of a company called Glendale Slaten because he did a favor for Amy Slaten in Devoted.
Liam is a character who got away from me. He was supposed to be the charming Irish player who liked to drink and party and who would probably fuck up anything he got into, but Li turned out to be so much more. He's smarter than the rest of them on several levels, and Li turned out to be the man who could put together things that didn't seem to match. He looks deeper than the others, and now when Liam O'Donnell talks, everyone listens. Such a journey from him sitting around the conference table making wisecracks in DWLM.
The scene where Li tells Avery everything is one of my favorites. He realizes she's more important than anything, and he immediately is done playing her. He's in love he's and not fighting it at all. Seriously, that scene is one of the reasons I got into writing.
Avery and her back story is something I've played around with for over twenty years. The first iteration came from a book I plotted but never wrote about three women on a road trip and the men they catch along the way. One of them is a golden retriever pastor who basically did the same thing as Avery though it was his wife killed in the car accident. The idea of having a character who can see forgiveness is right in her case and that forgiveness gives both the offending person and herself a real shot at a future was something I wanted to write for a long time. I'm glad it was Avery.
Avery is another of my Charlotte's Web homages. It was my favorite book as a kid.
