Opis

After a first decade working the patch in oil country Western Canada I experienced a career shift. Heavy oil to urban planning analysis. A more recent decade accelerated my sustainability learning curve into collision with climate change and the world of writing science papers. One academic journal petitioned stories, imagined near future fictions, resulting in a World Scientific anthology, and now in Climate Spirit as Eco History Exam 2052. Another shift-academic to near future speculative tales. Then hope and Dr. Joe Vipond guided my writing of AlberTa's Gift, deep frustration drove Next Door Data and fear, terror really, imagined up Storm Punchers. The questionable freedom of climate reality accepted, I settled into future predictions, speculating on the likelihood of an African Monsoon scenario. Probes into decades further along in Blown Bridge Valley, and Tribe 5 Girl set the tone for a climate reality series beginning with climate novel Pinatubo II (check storyline here in Green Sahara). Through storylines I speculate on whether humanity might need a helping hand from some inner belief or spirit out in the stars above. Decide for yourself, to be entertained, informed perhaps, or to quote the Lorax, warned.
