S.W. Lawrence- Cloud Dragon: Conspiracy, Contagion, and Catastrophe

Cloud Dragon: Conspiracy, Contagion, and Catastrophe, is a climate-fiction without apocalypse, centered around Washington, DC.

Electrical engineering professor Jake Harper maintains his laser focus on the repair and re-engineering of the North American electric grids. Abbey London is the junior partner in an infectious disease practice, with principle interest and expertise. in novel vector-borne disorders. Together they operate Dragonfly Inn in nearby Virginia and care for their infant daughter with support from an au pair. Jake identifies evidence of a possible kinetic attack on the grid from photographs taken by his students, while Abbey discovers yet again an infection never before encountered in this hemisphere.

S.W. Lawrence began writing in 2019, based on years of lectures on energy systems, the climate system, and the electric grid, including in a couple of out-of-state conferences and at Western Washington University. His professional background was in academic medicine, where he focused mainly on infectious disease and obstetrics [both of these themes are incorporated into his books]. He and his wife ran a bed & breakfast for eight years in the Pacific Northwest. He has driven an electric vehicle for twelve years now, and for the last six years they have lived in a comfortable, PassivHaus-certified home. On the side they raise goats and chickens for their grandkids.
