A daughter’s search for her father
A young woman, Anne Penn, searches for her father across an Arctic Ocean patrolled by obsessed security agents and prowled by oil-smuggling pirates. Full of action and suspense, Carbon Run is an exciting thriller set in a dystopian world ravaged by climate change. Fossil fuels are banned, pirates smuggle oil, and governments erase citizens’ identities.
Anne dreamed of saving an endangered species of birds. When a fire destroys the birds’ last home, her beloved father Bill is accused of starting the blaze. Fanatic officer Janine Kilel comes to arrest Anne’s father, but Bill escapes, because in the 22nd century, destroying a species means execution.

Frequently asked questions
What is “climate science fiction” and why do you write it? Climate science fiction is a new genre of science fiction that examines the effects of climate change on our planet. I wrote the series to explore what life might be like in the not-to-distant future.
Are your books preachy about climate change? Not at all! I’m not interested in preaching about our climate crisis, but the stories are based on solid science, like all good science fiction stories.
Do your stories feature strong young women? You bet, because my wife and I have raised two amazing young women of our own, and they inspired my science fiction books.
