Neil Herndon was destined to be a writer. From an early age, his passion was telling stories and putting word to page. He won the Illinois Young Authors competition several times, attending both state and county conferences. He was published in a young authors' poetry book before he entered his teens. At both Butler University and Columbia College-Hollywood, his focus was writing, a topic that he excelled at. He earned top marks in every class taken on the subject, soon gaining the admiration of his teachers and peers alike. Neil's major strength that set him apart from most others is how to write fantastic characters and craft a brilliant story, how to make it come to life on the page and captivate audiences. With each story he tells, Neil's writing ability only improves, both in quality and in creativity. He constantly pushes himself to be the best, prides himself on being able to tell a story in any genre, and making each one exciting and engaging. Not only does he produce high quality work, but he can do it quickly, sacrificing neither quality nor quantity. His speed allows him to conceive and finish a project in a very short time, shorter than most others. Neil has added another medium to his repertoire, the literary world, where his slate of novels is already growing. His belief that no story, no genre, and no audience is off-limits allows him to be a chameleon, writing for adults, young adults, and children alike. Neil always held on to a simple goal: to tell great stories. That goal has motivated everything he does, and drives him towards greatness. Neil has been spinning tales since he was very young, and now stands to enter the next generation of authors and storytellers, and he's only scratched the surface of possibility...
