I live in Cleveland, Ohio and write climate fiction novels and short stories.

I traveled to New York City for the "Green Festival" in 2014 and sold copies of my debut novel, "Escape to Canamith". I would have made more money if I sold vegan potato chips, but it was a great experience, and I had a lot of fun talking with environmentalists at the festival.

"The Two Worlds of Billy Callahan," hit the market in 2016.

In October 2017, I had the honor of attending the Climate Reality Leadership Training Corps. I spent three days learning about the dangers of climate change and global warming from Al Gore and a team of brilliant scientists. Upon completion of the training, I am now a certified Climate Reality Leader. It's time to stop using fossil fuels. Even President Trump can't stop the growing list of countries that are moving away from fossil fuel. I'm doing everything I can to help save the world.

My newest book is a collection of 12 short stories, featuring “A Climate Carol.”
This is my version of Dicken’s classic tale. The Ghosts of Climate past, Current, and Yet to Come visit our Trump-like character and convince him to change his ways. I’m donating part of the proceeds to The Climate Reality Project
