Neil Rochford is an Irish man, which means that he harbors crippling self-doubt and confidence in pretty much equal amounts. He loves fiction where minds are bent and bad things happen, and tries to emulate that in his own creative works.

He started writing short stories in 2014, some of which will be available in the upcoming short story collection, Dark Wings. The Blue Ridge Project, a dark speculative suspense story, is his debut novel. It was released in May 2016 and is the first in a series.

He has been lucky enough to live in a few different places around the world, from Estonia to Brazil, and would recommend it to anyone that wants to open their mind and shake off the dust.

In his downtime from writing fiction, he also tries his hand at

I'm also outlining the next book in The Project series, so expect that sooner rather than later.(less)

Mind-bending drugs and questionable treatment of subjects - to put it mildly - were just another stepping stone to the supporters of the experiments. If it was useful in a military or other clandestine capacity, they explored it, and possibly still do.

I wondered what would happen if some new technology was introduced into the mix, something that allowed for some really invasive stuff. It turned into a look at what the people in charge would do and how far they would push it, as well as the type of people they would experiment on. I also wanted to look at the possible fallout from pushing the envelope on the human mind so far.(less)

Stephen  King
“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.”
Stephen King
