Neal Ross Attinson has worked at various times as a kennel cleaner, market research drone, spa attendant, printer’s devil, journeyman printer, bookseller (new and used), bike messenger, RenFaire hawker, radio newscaster, freelance journalist, wedding officiant, award-winning newspaper reporter, and (currently) part-time Hebrew School teacher and rabbi’s assistant.
Since 2005, Neal has crafted more than 160 episodic short stories about Prosatio Silban, a self-defrocked holyman in a fantastic land making a modest but honest living as a mercenary cook. These quaint culinary adventures are collected in The Cook For Any Price: Across the Rimless Sea and The Cook For Any Price: More Commonwell Tales, with a third book expected momentarily. Neal’s other pursuits include avid skywatching, informed appreciation, recreational thinking, tabby cats, Oxford commas, and all matters gastronomic.
