September 25, 2012. Ted Neill picked up a knife to cut his wrists open and kill himself. Post hospitalization and treatment for major depressive disorder, he wrote Two Years of Wonder, a memoir based on his journey toward recovery. In it, he examines the experience that left him with such despair: living and working for two years at an orphanage for children with HIV/AIDS in Nairobi, Kenya.

When a wayward prince, Haille Hillbourne, with his friend, Katlyn Barnes, seek out an enchanted font to cure his seizures they find themselves drawn into a conflict with sorcerers, slave traders, ambitious nobles, and unruly mercenaries - all the disparate players tied together by an elk of unknown origin.

Bunny Man's Bridge wanders from the tragic to the comic, where the magical thinking of children collides with the gritty reality of adults. Characters such as Daniel and Sydney reoccur from one story to the next, coping with their own wounds, dreams and disillusionments.

Brad and I were as close as mates could get and then, when he shacked up with Elizabeth, I somehow got even closer with her in some sort of menage a trois thing! That was 20 odd years ago though, when we were young and reckless. In the meantime, we had drifted apart and become highly successful businessmen in our separate fields. Then Brad got back in touch and I got an invitation to visit them in their luxury Bahamas retreat. I was pretty nervous, especially about meeting Liz again. Things hadn't ended with us, we had just moved on!

In 2016, Ted Neill published his award winning memoir, Two Years of Wonder, about his time living and working at an orphanage for children with HIV/AIDS in Nairobi, Kenya. In 2020 he reconnected with the same children, who were now young adults. What he discovered was horrifying. The young people who had grown up and left the orphanage reported physical, emotional, and sexual abuse that had taken place in the two decades since Neill had left in 2004. Together, Neill and the survivors worked to document and expose the abuse and neglect that had shattered the lives so many children.
