Neil Turner

Neil Turner first lost himself in the pages of a book as a five- or six-year-old when Beatrix Potter and Thornton Burgess immersed him in the worlds of Jerry Muskrat, Peter Rabbit, and their furry friends. His parents happily indulged his excitement about being able to read them stories, which he thought was pretty darned cool. He's been reading and writing one thing or another ever since, but it was many years before the audacious idea of writing a book wormed its way into his head. He's lived throughout Canada, spent three years in Europe, and lived in Chicago and Arizona, somehow managing to squeeze a career in banking and finance into his travels.
