Dan Neill has been writing creatively for thirty years.  He's had poetry, articles, short stories, and ads published in newspapers, magazines, and other media.  From 2003-2004, Dan worked as a freelance writer for Lincoln County Magazine.  He was Ad Creator and Marketing Director for Apple Hearing Solutions from 2003-2007 with over four hundred ads and articles published.

Today, Dan is working on a suspense novel entitled Regul8or, and a children's chapter book, Norman Turns 35.  To help him become a better writer, Dan is a member of The Write Group of St. Louis and Saturday Writers, a chapter of The Missouri Writer's Guild.  Dan believes, "We cannot reach our potential as effective writers alone.  We need the eyes, ears, and ideas of other writers who are likewise working to hone their skills.  Writing groups and writing friends are essential."

Like many writers, Dan attempts to make a contribution to our world through writing.  Whether producing pieces for children or adults, he hopes to trigger thought and questions within the framework of an enjoyable, intriguing story.

When not writing, Dan is likely to be reading, spending time with family and friends, walking, hiking, or planning his next trip to Montana.

Recently, Dan modified the hours and responsibilities of his day job to make more time for his passion.  "I don't want to reach the end of my life never having made a genuine commitment to what I truly love, and feel called, to do—writing."
