About the Author

Born in Mississippi, Neil's father was a combat navy veteran of World War II who shortly afterward enlisted in the U. S. Air Force, giving Neil the opportunity to travel extensively through the United States and Europe. After graduating from high school in Florida, he obtained degrees in accounting and political science. He then served in the U. S. Army as a military police officer, leaving the service in 1972.

He then pursued concurrent careers in tax preparation and as a teamster. After his retirement in 2012, he turned to his first love of writing, and spending time with his grandchildren.

Now a widower, he lives in Provo, Utah, where he enjoys telling a great story and researching unusual historical facts. Neil, a widower with two living children, fourteen grand-children, and eight great-grandchildren, makes his home in Provo, Utah.
