Morey McNeill

Morey has always loved a good story.  While growing up in the small Canadian town of Newcastle, New Brunswick, he wrote many published short stories, from the poignant Mister Tim to the humorous Would the Person Who Invented Camping Please Stand Up.  Between the ages of twelve and nineteen, he played guitar in a rock band and appeared on TV shows such as Top Ten Plus.  For that period he turned his writing skills to songwriting, and the group played the wealth of original material that he produced.

His first novel, The Artist’s Touch, won an international literary award.  R.G. Williscroft, Ph.D., the President of the International Literary Awards wrote:  “The Artist’s Touch is brilliantly conceived and written.  It combines a first rate sense of dramatics with the ability to tell a superbly effective and unforgettable story.  The action is excellently staged with telling effect.  Even the supporting characters come through with an emotional sweep.  The Artist’s Touch has a magnetic quality.”

Morey’s second novel, Cape Enrage, shows his beloved coast at its best…and its worst.  Katherine Kidde of the Kidde, Hoyt & Picard Literary Agency in New York City said this about the novel:  “Cape Enrage is a sophisticated, suspenseful novel full of subtlety and fine touches.”
