Michael O'Brien
My name is Michael O'Brien
Although this book is not about me, I need to introduce myself. I am a single 54-year-old reporter with two childless marriages. I have a degree in Journalism from a prominent university. Most of my reporting has been in business and finance. I had one article published in The Economist about 20 years ago. My career has been rewarding in terms of job satisfaction. Until the acquisition of the Mirror, I could pay my bills and take a monthly vacation.
Several years ago, I was engaged by the Dane family to assist Stephen Dane in getting his book published.
I have decided to post the material from his book online.
This site is still a work in progress as some of the material is still under legal review.
For comments you can email me at
I will respond to as many as time permits.
I may post your comment or question live if I deem it supports my purpose,
Remmars Stephen Dane, author of "Tales from the Vault", can be contacted at remmarsdane@hotmail.com
Michael Mark O'Brien, author of Stephen Dane Diary, can be contacted at stephendanediary@gmail.com
The following is a work in progress. Edits may be added later to work already published. All edits after December 31, 2023, will be indexed.
Comments and criticism are encouraged.
The reason for the rabbit in the vault will be made clear later.

A short observation by the original potential publisher:
The following Google site located at “StephenDaneDiary.com” was originally to be a book titled “Tales from the Vault” by Remmars Stephen Dane. Tales from the Vault follows the career of Stephen Dane. Mr. Dane was a commercial bank officer off and on for over 40 years. The book was originally proposed to us by Mark Obrien who assisted in helping Mr, Dane in getting his book published. At the end of the day, we decided not to publish the book for several reasons. Mr. Obrien decided to publish Tales from the Vault on his own. Remmars Stephen Dane and Stephen Dane are the same person. So Tales from the Vault is an autobiography.
