In 2018, following a twenty-nine-year career as a Special Agent with the FBI and
eighteen years working in consulting, Neil Moran decided to join a creative writing class
at the local library. Never having written anything but high school and college term
papers and FBI-related casework, Neil began writing about personal experiences,
including his grandparents’ immigration from Ireland, his early years in the Bronx, his
extended family and his colorful career working in the FBI’s largest field office in New York City.

At the urging of his creative writing teacher, Neil compiled many of his writings from
the past few years into a memoir of sorts. Stories By Former FBI Special Agent and
Bronx Native Neil Moran combines personal essays, as well as his initiation into the
FBI where he investigated terrorist bombings, bank robberies, presidential assassination
attempts, and the disappearance of young Etan Patz. In the years that followed, the
famed Lufthansa Robbery, the crash of TWA flight 800, Neil’s unlikely role as a tow
truck driver and co-operator of junkyard in a long-term undercover operation and
managing an often-madcap informant that would lead the NYPD and the FBI to
solve a number of organized crime-related homicides and the unearthing
of the body of a murdered young woman are all discussed at length.

Neil also touches on his busy and active life today since retiring from full-time
employment. Hopelessly trying to improve his golf game, cycling, teaching English
as a second language, annual trips to visit family in Ireland, spending time
with children and grandchildren and of course writing round out Stories.
