Life and career
Neill was born in Arkansas in 1975. She studied law at the University of Nebraska. When she was young Neill did not want to become a writer. During her school and college years, she decided not to choose a profession in which she would have to write too much. In an interview, she explained that at that time she was not good at constructing sentences and found it difficult to write. In a part-time job, which she did during her studies, she had to do journalistic activities and started to find it a lot easier to write. Finally, she began writing fan fiction, which she quickly gave up to invent her own characters and stories. In 2005 Neill wrote her first own story. Since that time she writes about two books each year.[3] The most famous books are the novels from the Chicagoland Vampires series.[4] In addition to the 13 novels in the series, Neill wrote an spin off of the series: The Heirs of Chicagoland. The first novel Wild Hunger was published in August 2018.[5] The Chicagoland Vampires series has been translated into numerous languages, including Spanish,[6] Italian[7] and German.[8]
Neill lives in Omaha along with her husband and two dogs. In addition to her work as an author, Neill works as a contract lawyer.[3]
