IanM Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Just read the news on Facebook. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hastings Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Very sad news. We saw Steve for much of a couple of days only three months ago, when he was in Audlem for the Gathering of Historic Boats - with his 5 litre old American car. That was his other passion, and he probably had written more books on American cars than he had canal novels. Of course, he wrote novels on other subjects too - quite a prolific author. We have lost another character of the waterways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Is this the guy that wrote the books under the name Geoffery Lewis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hastings Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Yes, and he wrote some under his own name, and also published others, such as boating biography A Horse, A Boat, and You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Lewis Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Picked Up From Facebook: I don't think this has been reported on here, but some sad news. Steve Miles, former IWA Northampton Branch committee member, long time supporter and, of course, also the author of several canal novels under the name Geoffrey Lewis passed away a few days ago.

junior Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 How sad. I didn't really know him, but have read a few of his books and sat next to him at the BBQ we had at the Transport Festival this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
