Meet the Author

Neal Papevies was born in Atlanta, GA. Fascinated with animals from an early age, Neal spent the majority of his childhood outside exploring all that nature had to offer.

He and his wife now reside in Milton, GA, horse country. They are the proud parents of two young daughters who are the source of Neal’s inspiration. Neal continues to spend the majority of his free time exploring the outdoors with his family and two retrievers seeking out adventures and sharing his passions. 

Neal is an author who utilizes his children's books to introduce readers to intriguing and unique animals. His goal is that these characters and their adventures will help teach important fundamental life lessons to the younger generations and inspire those younger readers to get out and explore the outdoors. His debut children's book, The Little Newt Under The Root, was followed by the engaging tale, Bears Don't Fish...or Do They? Join Neal on this exciting journey of discovery!
