Heat Wave

I write climate change thrillers. No greater threat to humanity exists today than anthropogenic global warming. While the science is making great inroads in our understanding, the public by and large doesn't accept the findings.This is because everyone is complicit in creating the crisis, albeit through no fault of their own. They use the system as created and will until a new one is in place.
Until then humanity will have to weather the storms. Current events should be warning enough.
“We’re observing the climate changing — it’s happening, it’s real, it’s a scientific fact.” - Richard Sommerville on ABC News
The good news is we can fix this. The first step is to turn the ship around. My hope is through art a clear picture of what can happen to us will take hold of the culture in the same way as The Da Vinci Code. This time, though, the history we know is real . . .
Heat Wave Countdown to the publication of Warm Front's sequel, Heat Wave. The thermostat also rises. An assassin executes a U.S. presidential candidate. To witness and eccentric reporter, Sam Emory, it echoes a killing three years earlier that transformed his life. Voters elect a new, environmentalist president, a colleague of the slain candidate. But a powerful industrialist stops at nothing, including murder, to control world energy markets. And this isn’t his first murder. Emory and the president are the next in line. In the not-so-distant future, an assassin kills a U.S. presidential candidate seeking to fix a world ravaged by climate change, and Sam Emory uncovers a chain of murders with a megalomaniac industrialist at its core. The newly elected president vows to solve the climate crisis. Can Emory and his friends stop the assassin from striking again? HEAT WAVE begins in Chena Hot Springs, Alaska, but the political intrigue and murder spread to Washington, D.C., and into the labyrinth of an Aspen, Colorado energy research facility, where free-marketers manufacture chaos in the electrical grid, and where Emory confronts a terrifying a secret from his past.

Caught my first bonefish in Islamorada, Florida with Stray Cat Charters. Chris did a great job spotting fish and I managed to get at least one cast in the right spot to catch one of these ghosts of the Caribbean. It got off after three runs. Bent the hook on the fly.

Promised Land, for someone

The movie Promised Land was a missed opportunity. Had they included at least one scene of the documented side effects of gas drilling near homes, as in Gasland, it would have had a greater impact. As written, with a strange plot twist and no real resolution, it left no impact. A shame really.

Mr. Damon plays Steve Butler, a corporate salesman who arrives in a rural town with his sales partner, Sue Thomason (Ms. McDormand). With the town having been hit hard by the economic decline of recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company’s offer for oil and gas drilling on their Pennsylvania land.

Warm Front Kindle Release

Well, we moved into the new house after months of renovations. It's awesome. Next up is the release on Kindle Direct of my first novel, the climate thriller, Warm Front. Stay tuned. The subject matter has never been more appropriate.

The deck is rebuilt and refinished. I did it myself, working since August. Granite is installed in the kitchen. I did not do that. Looking good for a mid-Nov move in. We're very happy about that! In other matters, Go Obama!

Our House

As the song goes,"is a very very very fine house." A long time coming but worth it.

Patriot Review

I got a great review from New York Times Bestselling author Lewis Perdue.

******Investigative historic thriller, March 4, 2012
By Lewis Perdue (Sonoma, CA United States) – See all my reviews
This review is from: Patriot on the Kennebec: Major Reuben Colburn, Benedict Arnold and the March to Quebec, 1775 (Paperback)

This is one helluva book. It’s a non-fiction, thoroughly researched, investigative look at the history of an oft-reviled Revolutionary War patriot, Major Reuben Colburn. Because it’s written by a descendent of Colburn’s, one might expect a panegyric. Far from it. York has produced a solid piece of enterprise reporting with facts to back up the assertions. Superbly written with an entertaining style that keeps on pulling the reader along like a thriller.
