Neil Heater
A little about myself. I am a 50 year old married male with 2 awesome teenage sons. One is currently a college junior and the other a recent high school grad. Both have been home-schooled.
My wife is their teacher and mentor and is my best friend.
I work retail and have started doing free-lance writing online. I have completed some work for people for product reviews and general articles of interest.
I have an associates in Criminal Justice and have worked a variety of jobs...I tend to think of them as making me more life oriented to provide greater insight into what I write about. Authors, such as Louis Lamour and CLive Cussler, put a lot of their own experiences into their writing and that is how I see some of my strengths.
I am a moderator at a Christian Chat site.
I find that life is what we make it and as a person of faith, much of that includes our involvement in our everyday areas of influence. Someone once said, "No man is an island" and that should be a credo for everyone. It is mine. We interact, play, work and simply get involved with people...so why be afraid to participate. OK that is my soapbox. If you want to know me and my writing...drop me a line.
