Rick Neal spent the better part of his childhood and adolescence doing everything he could to avoid acquiring any practical skills. Unfortunately, his love of reading betrayed him, and he makes his living as a technical writer and editor. In addition to being a writer, he is also an actor, speaker, hypnotist, magician, and defrocked priest, which may be connected but doesn't bear thinking about.
This photo is the only one known to exist of Rick. After the 'incident' in Moscow, he has kept a low public profile. He dares anyone to prove it was really his fault.
