D. Neil Elliott lives in a peaceful historic village on the West Coast of British Columbia with his wife and a house full of art, books, and plants. He names all his plants—his favorite is a tall and lean Yucca called Rogelio. Neil has three children and five grandchildren, all of whom, of course, are brilliant. He loves ALL wildlife, and domestic pets too. In his twenties, he raised a variety of parrots and Labrador dogs. Neil has a passion for motorcycling and loves to travel, particularly in Europe, to visit museums, churches, and art galleries.  He likes to visit cities and enjoy all they have to offer, but prefers a peaceful country life close to water, forests, and plenty of wildlife.
