Neal Wooten is a native of Fort Payne, Alabama, raised on Sand Mountain, which is located in the northeastern region of the said state. It is in the vast expanse of this plateau that his father’s pig farm is situated and is where he spent most of his youth. He recalls countless hours spent on the farm’s okra fields. Later on, he would pursue a degree in math at Auburn University in Montgomery.

After completing his studies, he embarked on a brief full-time career as a stand-up comic, spending five years entertaining crowds in comedy clubs throughout the Southeast. Although he is no longer as active as he once was on the stand-up comedy scene, he still occasionally performs every now and then. Some of his performances have been recorded and uploaded online, where they can be viewed on his official website, nealwooten.com, and Youtube.

He has served as a math tutor for decades now (a profession that he admitted he loves doing), with a veritable mastery of almost any mathematical branch from the simplest algebraic equations to more complex Calculus problems. He served for two years as Director for the Math Learning Center. Besides being an author and a stand-up comedian, he is also an artist and a columnist for The Mountain Valley News and The Indie Times; he writes for the Huffington Post as well. Many of his artworks, most of which are acrylic and oil paintings, can be found online and have been sold in a number of art galleries.

He has been writing from a very young age, focusing mainly on futuristic stories (which he considers as his favorite types of stories to write as it requires him to exercise his imagination to the fullest). Almost all of his works are published by his own publishing house, Mirror Publishing, which he established in 2007. Though primarily a writer of fiction and sci-fi stories, he occasionally dabbles in poems and political cartoons as well. Brad’s Pit is one of his known full-color cartoon publications.

He has revealed in an interview that his major influence is H.G. Wells. When asked about what element of fiction is most important, he answered that the story’s believability should be one of the highest priorities of its author. After spending close to 20 years of his life in Montgomery, he moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he resides with his wife and three dogs. His first published novel is Reternity, a story combining time travel and Biblical elements, which already garnered multiple national awards since it was published on May 31, 2011 by Mirror Publishing.

Reternity

Neal Wooten entered the literary scene with the publication of his first novel, Reternity. It was published in 2011 and showcases a very original blend of religion and science fiction themes. It follows the sheltered life of a boy named Max, a child of a reverend, who resides with his family in a small town in the American Midwest. It is basically a coming-of-age novel with great focus on the precarious relationship between science and religion.

And this conflict could not be more apparent in Max’s life, as he is born to a devoutly religious family but has a deep fascination for science as well.Despite already establishing his mastery over the former due to the way he was taught and raised by his zealous parents, his interest in the latter grows as he enters university and, almost immediately, begins to form a strong bond with his science teacher – much to the fears of his worried parents. As the semester progresses, Max’s class is given a near-impossible to answer scientific puzzle by his professor, and when Max discovers something more profound about it through persistent scientific investigation, he begins to worry that his relationship with the religious elements of his life, with the very people whom he loves, would become strained. And this serves as the catalyst which forces Max and professor to embark on an adventure whose end would reveal a truth that would prove to be just as surprising as Max’s discovery.

The book beautifully interweaves science fiction and religion throughout its intricate plot, and could very well answer some of the most primordial questions that most people have regarding the compatibility of Science and Religion. It received a total of eight national awards and was named to the Book Nook Club Favorites of 2011 and Kirkus Reviews Best of 2011 alike.

Three of Hearts

Neal Wooten’s next published novel was Three of Hearts, which was published by Mirror Publishing on November 11, 2011. Although not as popular as his first novel, it does introduce very interesting concepts and manages to tell an equally compelling story. Set in the author’s childhood locale of Sand Mountain, it tells another coming-of-age story and centers on Leo – a youth fresh out of high school who ends up befriending a homeless man whose main distinction is his artificial legs. He lives in a car in the vicinity of Fort Payne, the town in which the story is initially set.

Leo is immediately intrigued by the disabled man, and, soon enough, he manages to learn about the old man’s more intimate secrets. One such secret is about a pact that three soldiers, wounded drastically during the Vietnam War, made to each other 15 years prior. As Leo learns more about the three survivors and the earnest pact that they made, he discovers that he has now become a part of the final chapter of the story of the three unsung heroes.

Even though Three of Hearts may not have been well-received by most people, much value can be placed on Neal Wooten’s success in managing to portray the injustices that Vietnam veterans returning from the war had to put up with once they reentered American society. Instead of being treated like heroes and given the adulation and favor that they truly deserve, they are treated like criminals and looked upon with scorn. The book manages to tell a truly heart-warming story and was able to vividly exhibit Leo’s coming of age as he learns more about the veterans’ plight.
