" He led into the pitch black of the cave. Whym could tell by the slope they were descending. The temperature, as well, dropped as they entered the depths of the mountain. For a while, their steps and breaths were the only sounds, but then he heard another—the trickle of water. As it grew louder, the trickle became a rush, and he could see a faint glow ahead.

Kyle McNeal grew up on the side of a mountain in Western North Carolina, far enough from neighbors that imagination was often his primary companionship. He discovered a magic there―along the winding logging trail, beside the backyard stream, and within the hidden hemlock fort―that instilled a dream to one day share that magic with the world. Thus, while meeting with recruiters during his graduation year from Georgia Tech, he answered the “five-year plan” question with his intention to write fantasy. But first, five years turned into twenty. He worked in management consulting and private equity before tackling the challenge to start and run an operation in China. Seasoned by his many travels and experiences, and eager to write full-time, he resigned his management role abroad and returned to the U.S. From his home in Fort Mill, South Carolina, he strives to merge the nuances of the real world with the magic of imagination, to weave stories that both entertain and provoke reflection.
My passion for writing is sustained by sharing my stories with readers — with you. As such, hearing from you delights me. If you have questions or comments (feedback, positive or otherwise, is welcomed), send them my way. I promise to respond.
For those of you who’ve been inspired by my work to create your own — whether pictures, artwork, poems, songs, or another medium I’ve failed to anticipate — I encourage you to share. If you prefer that I keep these items to myself, I’ll honor your wishes. But unless you state otherwise, I intend to include them on this website and on my social media pages, so that others may also enjoy your creations.
I look forward to hearing from you!
" A bit o' meat in my belly— Birthrights
A mug o' ale with it, too
A pretty lass on my right knee
And one on the left to make two
Forget now your worries and sing 'long with me
And imagine how happy a man you could be
If life were but filled with these simple things three "
