ABOUT THIS COLLECTION
As shown in his first book READING THE WAVES, Neil had a deep and abiding appreciation of the ocean and the nuances of a surfing life. His fictions are distinctly Neil, always with a twist. If the world is full of promise, it’s the kind of promise that gets broken. His multi-disciplinary output included a non-fiction book, PANTANAL, on the heartland rainforest of Brazil; a fiction novel called BRILLIANT OBJECTS, plus seven screenplays and hundreds of articles in 40 publications worldwide. Later in life, Neil focused on the short-short story. Flash fiction became his creative niche. Those stories are slated for another book, WORDS LAST.
