Neil has completed the manuscript for his new book, Nobody Waved Goodbye; A Shipwreck Summer in Canada's North.

In the spring of 1956, young men of different places and circumstances went north. They came to work the tugboats and barges of Canada’s longest river. They gathered in the largest north-bound drainage in North America. Most of them crossed the deepest lake on the continent in little, shallow-draft workboats, hundreds of miles from anyone who might look up to note their passing.

In a land where the waters brings mystery, they had more than their share. For the north was, in 1956, (and in many ways is still) a place where the people are dependent on small ships for supplies and equipment which sustain them through long, cold, dark winters. 

It is a land where the  legendary wind blows down cold from the hinterland, where in the summer of 1956, for the first and last time, two tugboats sank in large northern lakes, the summer Nobody Waved Goodbye...

We are looking for a publisher.
