"Demon Spirit", like all my mysteries, is based on an actual climate change event. It is set in Haida Gwaii, an archipelago off British Columbia. In the story I explore why a people so tied to nature would agree to a scheme promoted by an American businessman - pour tons of pink iron slurry into the ocean to stimulate phytoplankton blooms and get carbon credits. The so-called "Geritol Solution" has been questioned by marine scientists for decades. In addition, carbon credits are not awarded for phytoplankton blooms.
Charleine D'Avanzo advances the cause of cli-fi, writing: ''Once more, cli-fi has
been recognized for what it is -- serious literature.''
