Cape Cod LIFE > Articles by: Joe O'Shea

A native Bostonian, Joe O’Shea is a freelance writer who loves his wife, children and family, Xaverian football, Boston College and Boston sports. When not working on a story with his wife, Deb, Joe can be found reading ghost stories, doting on his dog, or hanging out in Plymouth, Salem, Boston or on the Cape. He has covered a variety of topics for Cape Cod LIFE, penning features on Cape and Islands breweries, the Cahoon Museum of American Art, and the little known history of Nantucket’s railroad.
