!!Bill O'Reilly's work features examples of:
* AuthorFilibuster: ''Those Who Trespass'' is heavy on this trope. The two central characters represent two sides of his personality: The antagonist is a tall, "no-nonsense" television journalist named Shannon Michaels, described as the product of two Celtic parents; meanwhile, the protagonist is a "straight-talking" Irish-American New York City homicide detective named Tommy O'Malley.
* IkeaErotica: ''Those Who Trespass'' is known for this.
