Matt Neal is a writer living in Towne Lake with his wife and two children.  Every weekday he makes the long commute into the big metropolis to his day job that pays the bills, but every night he returns to the little town of Woodstock that he calls home.

Matt Neal is the author of several novels and dozens of short stories, none of which have ever been submitted for publication!

A computer programmer by trade, but a writer at heart, he hopes that with luck and a lot of work he can make the writing thing pay off.

He believes Woodstock is crawling with history.  In his spare time he enjoys reading about it and putting his own creative touches into the telling of it.

"History is never boring, but history tellers can be.  That's why people often forget the past."
