About the author

 

Neeny Boucher is a nom de plume because her real name sounds like a 19th Century suffragette.  She is a lover of the weird, the outcast and those on the margins of society.  She is also an appreciator of music, art, film, television, popular culture, social encounters, and the human condition.  Originally from New Zealand, she is a strong supporter of the All Blacks, has lived all over the world and is currently a trailing spouse in a picturesque village in Switzerland with two wonderful children. 

Her employment history is varied and has ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous, not to mention, the messy.  The sublime:  teaching.  The ridiculous:  tour guide on a gondola when she has an irrational fear of heights.  The messy:  cleaning out turkey houses in Israel waiting for the European winter to pass.

She has done all sorts of things she wouldn’t allow her children to do, including hitchhiking around southern Africa in her wild youth.  All the experiences, however, provided the opportunity to par-take in her favorite past time of people watching.  A collector of amazing stories, Neeny decided it was time to put them in fiction, allowing readers to enjoy them as much as she did.  Please feel free to contact the author on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, and Pinterest.
