A Novel

The Miracle of Africa

The Miracle of Africa is Mike Neil's debut novel — a sweeping story of adventure, faith, and the untamed beauty of the African continent. Drawing on a lifelong love of wildlife and the natural world, Mike weaves a tale that takes readers deep into the heart of Africa, where lives are changed and miracles unfold in the most unexpected places.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the African savanna, The Miracle of Africa follows characters whose journeys of faith and survival are tested at every turn. With vivid descriptions drawn from Mike's own deep connection to the natural world, the novel captures the raw power of the land and the quiet grace of the people who call it home. A story of redemption, courage, and the enduring hope that can be found even in the most desperate circumstances.

Discovering a Family Tree and a Story Hidden in the Mist of Time

Trees in the Mist

Mike Neil's second novel, Trees in the Mist, is a deeply personal journey into family history and the stories that shape who we are. Part mystery, part memoir, the novel follows a search through generations of family records, uncovering secrets and truths long hidden in the mist of time.

Trees in the Mist explores the threads that connect us to those who came before — the sacrifices, the silences, and the surprising discoveries that emerge when we look closely at our roots. With warmth and quiet wisdom, Mike Neil brings to life a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered about the lives of their ancestors and the legacy they leave behind.

British East Africa, 1914

The African Scout

British East Africa, 1914. Lance Miles has built a hard-won life on the African frontier with his beloved wife, Esther, and their young daughter. Their home is a place of love, faith, and possibility — but also a target in a world where prejudice runs deep and the distant rumblings of war are growing louder.

When the Great War reaches East Africa, Lance can no longer remain on the sidelines. Leaving behind the family and farm he would give anything to protect, he becomes a civilian scout for the British Army, using his knowledge of the bush to track German forces through some of the most unforgiving terrain on earth. But the deeper he ventures behind enemy lines, the more the boundaries between hunter and hunted, courage and fear, faith and doubt begin to disappear. What begins as a fight for survival becomes a far greater journey — one that will test Lance's loyalty, challenge everything he believes, and force him to confront the true cost of war. Sweeping, adventurous, and deeply spiritual, The African Scout is a story of courage, love, sacrifice, and one man's search for meaning in a world being torn apart.
