Silent Altitudes
My first traditionally published novel, Silent Altitudes, will be out in a month’s time. It’s been a long journey since March of 2019 when I first began plotting the idea, and I’m excited to share it with the world.
The book is a “Cli-fi,” or Climate Fiction, meaning that it deals with climate change and global warming, but that’s simply the backdrop on which I’ve built a thriller of suspense and intrigue. It’s set in the near future in a time when the world has (mostly) come to agreement on what to do about climate change. The United Nations has constructed an elaborate atmospheric carbon reduction system. People are hopeful that the solution has been found.
Obviously, it wouldn’t be much of a story if all went well and the problem was fixed. I won’t give away the plot, but I promise that you’ll find conspiracy, opposing views, and wildly divergent agendas within the pages of the novel. And it’s not a book preaching politics. Whether you want to see the Green New Deal enacted or think the whole climate thing is a hoax, this story really isn’t about that. I approach it from a different angle.
Like I’ve said in other posts, I’m so thankful to everyone who has helped me along the way to publication. Numerous readers provided feedback and suggestions. Other authors shared their critiques and wisdom. My editor was amazing and pushed me to be a better writer. God gave me the time, talent, and inspiration. I can’t wait to share this book with you, and I hope you enjoy it!
