Michael C O'Neal or Mike as his friends call him is new to writing books but not new to writing. The plot for the first book started to take shape many years ago but until he retired he didn't seem to have the time that he knew would be needed. Writing a book was more of a bucket list idea at first but now has become an obsession. Having spent a long career in computer systems engineering, he uses his life experience plus a firtle imagination to develop unique plots. He was born and raised in the Ozark Mountains of North Arkansas but lived in Texas and Louisiana where he worked for a computer manufacturing company for many years before starting his own computer business. He and his wife of fifty-two years now live in rural south Mississippi.
