Hi, I'm J Edward Neill,

Nice to meet you.

I write a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean a LOT. :)
I'm the author of sci-fi hits A Door Never Dreamed of and the Eaters of the Light trilogy. I wrote the dark fiction Tyrants of the Dead trilogy, penned Hollow Empire, a six-part medieval opera, and recently finished The Hecatomb, a horror novella. And I'm the creator of the Coffee Table Philosophy series, spanning twelve books and more than 1,100 party-ready philosophy questions.

I live in North GA, where the summers are blistering hot and winters really don't exist. I love the rain, good red wine, and I truly adore painting.

Catch up with me on my websites TesseraGuild.com and DowntheDarkPath.com. ...more
