More About the Author

Born in 1946, Vivienne Diane Neal is a storyteller with a wicked sense of humor. Vivienne has been writing articles for over twenty years. She started writing fictional short stories in 2007, and gets her story ideas from observing people, places and things and watching true TV court cases.


Her first book, Making Dollar$ And Cent$ Out Of Online Dating is a true-life and humorous account as to why and how she got into the dating business and the problems she has encountered in the past while trying to keep afloat in the ever-changing world of the Internet dating business.

Her third book, Malicious Acts is an anthology of five short stories that centers on people who will stop at nothing to get what they want. If it means disguising themselves as benevolent individuals and destroying lives along the way, they are up for the thrill. They will use romance, sex, lust, greed, manipulation, and deceit as preludes to suck unsuspecting men and women out of their life's savings.


The Man with the White Handkerchief is a digital short story (under 600 words) which partook in the Lulu Short Story Contest in 2011. The narrative is about a woman approached by a stranger who asks for directions to a specific street, but she has no recollection as to what took place after that encounter.


Wicked Intent, her fourth book, is a fictional short story about a successful businessman who is planning to marry his self-centered fiancée, but he is sidetracked by a beautiful stranger who will brings lust, desire and eroticism into his life, but will ultimately destroy his relationship with the one person who has always stood by him.
