"Climate Dragon: Treachery, Pestilence, and Weirding Weather describes how we currently generate and use energy in the United States. The scope of the book is enormous: from the emergence of oxygen in primordial seas to the current scourge of heat-trapping gases in the last 150 years, topics range from the global to the molecular and even sub-atomic, yet it is accessible to the reader. Climate Dragon's story is told by Jake and Abbey, a couple who manage Dragonfly Inn and share their insights into renewable energy. What emerges is the simple truth that our future together on Earth depends on how quickly we can transition to renewable sources such as wind, solar devices (panels or thermal plants), wave energy, and hydroelectric energy. If human society is to continue into the next millennium in a way we would recognize today, we must make and use only zero-carbon electricity for our industries, our transportation, and our homes. At the same time, we must remove carbon dioxide and methane from the atmosphere and the oceans. Climate Dragon is your guide to that future."

Climate fiction without apocalypse, set in and around Washington, D.C. Newly minted engineering professor Jake Harper, dealing with issues of mild dyslexia and awkwardness with public speaking, wants to stave off climate weirding by re-engineering the North American electric grids. His pregnant partner Abbey London, sassy but irresistible, starts her practice as an infectious disease specialist, concerned with encroaching tropical diseases. Together they operate her parents' Dragonfly Inn just twenty minutes away in northern Virginia.

A chance encounter at a lecture at George Washington University causes Jake to become suspicious that someone may be plotting a cyberattack on critical electrical infrastructure.

Abbey discovers an infection new to North America has infiltrated the drug-injecting population in the Capital, and she must personally and professionally rise to the challenge.
