"Neil has created a story that extends beyond Christmas and brings magic to every single day. This book will be a much-loved part of my Christmas library from now on." 5 Stars! - Susan Sewell for Readers' Favorite. "If you think all of the best Christmas stories have been told then you haven't read Doc Christmas!" 5 Stars - Patrick Nichol, Goodreads "Heartwarming and inspirational! This story appeals to everyone. A Christmas classic for the whole family." - T.J. Anderson, Mrs. Calgary. Set in the present day where Christmas deliveries are handled through the world's railways and model trains, elves are more technically advanced than people and where magic and science coexist in perfect harmony. Doc Christmas tells the tale of Doctor Archibald Stevens' journey from reclusive hermit to Christmas savior and all the fantastic discoveries he makes along the way. Doc Christmas is a story about a man who has lost his joy for his family, for Christmas, and for most everything else in his life. The only thing that matters to him since his wife passed away is his work. His unfettered focus has made him into a world-renowned specialist in rare infectious diseases. This fact has just become very important to Nick, who now desperately needs the Doc's help in curing an epidemic that is raging through the elven population of the North Pole. While Doc may have the medical knowledge to help the elves, finding out that elves are tiny - about 5/8 of an inch tall - may present an insurmountable challenge. Unless Nick and the Doc's family can help him rekindle his beliefs in the magic of Christmas -and- in the magic of trains... the two things that will be required if he's going to get to the right size to save Christmas.
More that 5,000 years after they began planning for their voyage, the Mayan & Minoan ship Atlantis returns to recolonize the world, after skipping 'the end' in 2012. There's just one small problem... ... we're still here! An Amatuer archeologist's outlandish theory of a Mayan exodus is spectacularly proven correct by the return of the 6-kilometer wide city/ship Atlantis. Working with his teenage daughter, they try to understand the sophisticated Mayan and Minoan cultures on board the giant ship, and help them to understand our world. When Atlantis is revealed to the world it attracts the attention of the elitist Phoenix group, whose offer to help turns out to be less than genuine. Will Atlantis' 5 millennia journey be brought to an abrupt end? Can the past and the present be united to save the future? Reviews... "Neil's story telling has a way of ending many chapters that is sure to put a smile on your face as you turn the page. Mayan, Atlantis Returns is a fantastic adventure that you won't want to put down. I'm biting my nails for the next installment. Wow! Awesome!" -Stephen Fisher for Reader's Favorite "Mayan is an astonishing history lesson embedded in asatisfying thriller worthy of James Rollins or Spielberg" - Patrick Nichol, Chapters.Indigo.ca "Neil Enock has done a great job of creating a great novel with great characters who manage not to become larger than life. This reminds me of the way J.K. Rowling handled her human characters in the Harry Potter series." -Ray Simmons for Reader's Favorite "I love this story. I could actually see it playing out in my head. You did a ton of research. Makes you think!" - Sarah Burrows, Goodreads.com "Promisingly evident in the first couple of chapters, this author doesn't hold anything back. He wants readers to dive head first into this book and he keeps them submerged until the very end. He has created a fictional Atlantis in full." -Benjamin Ookami for Reader's Favorite "Myth becomes legend, legend becomes reality. A truly epic tale that will have you reflecting on our society." - Allan Stickel, Screen Actor and Avid Reader. "Neil Enock creates a cast of well-developed, interesting characters to guide the reader through an entertaining story of discovery and reflection. Anyone loving Atlantean mythology, or seeking some insight into the ancient races or civilisations past will find the delicious morsels woven into the tale enjoyable, and could even inspire further research into these fields. A page-turning insightful tale intended to inspire." -K.J. Simmill for Reader's Favorite
