Editing Neil Peart (section)

===Nonfiction===
Peart authored seven non-fiction books during his lifetime, the last of which was released in 2016.

Peart's first book, titled ''[[The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa]]'',<ref name="Peart" /> was written in 1996 about a month-long bicycling tour through [[Cameroon]] in November 1988. The book details Peart's travels through towns and villages with four fellow riders. The original had a limited print run, but after the critical and commercial success of Peart's second book, ''Masked Rider'' was re-issued by ECW Press and remains in print.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ecwpress.com/products/masked-rider|title=The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa|website=ECW Press|access-date=January 11, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Roadshow: Landscape with Drums – A Concert Tour by Motorcycle|last=Peart|first=Neil|date=2006|publisher=Rounder|isbn=1-57940-142-2|edition=1st|location=Cambridge, MA|oclc=71643376}}</ref>

After losing his wife and (at the time) only daughter, Peart embarked on a lengthy motorcycle road trip spanning North America. His experiences were penned in ''[[Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road]]''.<ref name=Peart-GhostRider /> Peart and the rest of the band were always able to keep his private life at a distance from his public image in Rush. However, ''Ghost Rider'' is a first-person narrative of Peart on the road on a [[BMW R1100GS]] motorcycle, in an effort to put his life back together as he embarked on an extensive journey.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/map_of_heart-neil_peart_finds_rhythm_of|title=Map of the Heart Neil Peart Finds the Rhythm of the Road|website=Exclaim.ca|language=en-ca|access-date=January 11, 2020|archive-date=January 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200111123029/http://exclaim.ca/music/article/map_of_heart-neil_peart_finds_rhythm_of|url-status=live}}</ref>

Years later, after his marriage to Nuttall, Peart took another road trip, this time by car. In his third book, ''[[Travelling Music: Playing Back the Soundtrack to My Life and Times]]'',<ref>{{cite book|title=Traveling Music: The Soundtrack to My Life and Times|last=Peart|first=Neil|year=2004|publisher=[[ECW Press]]|isbn=1-55022-664-9}}</ref> he reflects on his life, his career, his family, and music. As with his previous two books, it is a first-person narrative.

Three decades after Peart joined Rush, the band found itself on its [[R30: 30th Anniversary Tour|30th anniversary tour]]. Released in September 2006, ''Roadshow: Landscape with Drums – A Concert Tour by Motorcycle'' details the tour both from behind Peart's drum kit and on his [[BMW R1150GS]] and [[BMW R1200GS|R1200GS]] motorcycles.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=Rush Drummer Peart Chronicles Life on the 'Road'|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/57239/rush-drummer-peart-chronicles-life-on-the-road|magazine=Billboard|access-date=January 11, 2020|archive-date=January 11, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200111160537/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/57239/rush-drummer-peart-chronicles-life-on-the-road|url-status=live}}</ref>

Peart's next book, ''Far and Away: A Prize Every Time'', was published by [[ECW Press]] in May 2011.<ref>{{cite news|title=Neil Peart's New Book ''Far And Away: A Prize Every Time'' Out Now|url=http://knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=7904|access-date=May 14, 2011|publisher=[[KNAC]]|date=May 12, 2011|quote=Rush drummer Neil Peart's fifth full-length book, ''Far And Away: A Prize Every Time'', has been released by ECW Press.|archive-date=June 11, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611041813/http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=7904|url-status=live}}</ref> This book, which he worked on for two years, is formed around his travelling in North and South America.

===Fiction===
Peart worked with [[science fiction author]] [[Kevin J. Anderson]] to develop a novelisation of Rush's 2012 album ''[[Clockwork Angels]]''; the book was published by ECW Press and debuted at #18 on the ''[[New York Times]]'' hardcover fiction best seller.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13592828-clockwork-angels|title=Clockwork Angels by Kevin J.

If you catch them, you catch them, but if you don't get the references, it should not affect your enjoyment in any way. Neil and I plotted this story from its inception; he approached me with his own ideas for scenes and characters, and he knew the lyrics he was writing, so we built the world, the storyline, the villains and heroes around the songs; but it also had to work as a novel, too. Clockwork Angels should be an enjoyable steampunk fantasy regardless of whether or not you're a Rush fan. |archive-date=January 12, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200112032707/https://io9.gizmodo.com/kevin-j-anderson-talks-clockwork-angels-his-new-novel-5940743 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Owens |first1=Skip |title='Clockwork Lives' Is Now a Graphic Novel |url=https://geekdad.com/2018/06/clockwork-lives-is-now-a-graphic-novel/ |website=GEEKDAD |access-date=January 11, 2020 |date=June 26, 2018 |quote=Speaking of Rush, being a Rush fan is another reason to read Clockwork Lives.

Peart worked with Anderson on a third and final novel during the last years of his life; after his death, his widow gave Anderson permission to continue the project. The book, ''Clockwork Destiny'', was published by ECW Press in June 2022; like the first two novels, it incorporates portions of lyrics from Rush songs.
