He is the 2013 winner of the Martin Luther King Jr. Torch of Peace Award.

His debut novel, City on a Hill, examines the fault lines of religious conflict in Israel/Palestine. His prescient 2019 novel, Reaper Moon, takes place against the backdrop of a global virus pandemic exploring how the aftermath unfolds along familiar social divides of race, gender, and politics. His young adult series, Snog Team Six, is a romp through global mythology, science fiction, video games, the Old West and South East Asia. His high-fantasy series, Elk Riders, has won numerous Kirkus stars. Finally, his Post Apocalyptic Space Shakespeare series is a perennial best selling series.

Neill is also author of three award winning memoirs: Two Years of Wonder which chronicles his time living and working at a Kenyan orphanage for children with HIV/AIDS; Twenty Years of Unraveling, a follow up that recounts the efforts to seek justice for the grown children at the same orphanage that were victims of sexual abuse; and Finding St. Lo a combined account of his late grandfather Robert Fowler’s WWII experience as well as a decorated medic in his unit, Gordon Cross.
