There’s trouble, and then there’s Big Lake Troubles.
A high-stakes drama where love, loyalty, and ethics collide in the fight to tackle the climate crisis on Lake Superior. Coal might be killing the planet, but former judge Jason Erickson is reluctant to get involved in a case involving a massive coal shipper on Lake Superior. He'd prefer drinking wine and walking the California beaches rather than winter in a Wisconsin courtroom. Jason's girlfriend, Grace Clarkson, represents the opponents and is pressuring him to join her. However, committing to the case means different things to each of them, and their relationship might be at stake.
Jeffrey D. Boldt is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and its School of Law. He received his MFA in Fiction from Augsburg University in Minneapolis in 2019. His short fiction, poetry and essays have appeared in HuffPost, BuzzFeed and in literary journals including those affiliated with the University of California, Johns Hopkins, Duke, Rutgers, UNLV, Clarkson, Stephen F. Austin, Minnesota, SUNY and CUNY. His first novel Blue Lake, was named to Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2022. The sequel, Big Lake Troubles, was released on October 16, 2024.
