“A rollicking ride… as humorous as it is astute.”
Can One Daring Woman Light the Way
To a New Era of Energy?
Anxiety over a looming “climate crisis” gives enemies of the Crowe Power Company a reason—or an excuse—to attack chairperson Lindsey Harper Crowe and threaten to destroy her family enterprise. She must find or feign common cause with her legion of critics, including her woke daughter engaging in street protests against her company, her ex-husband trying to regain control of the business, an administration in Washington campaigning against “Big Fossil,” and a notorious hedge fund manager bent on breaking up Crowe Power under the guise of virtue investing.
Frustrated at every turn, Lindsey tries to leverage her company’s groundbreaking research into fusion energy that powers the sun and the stars as a green answer. In league with a jaded PR man, Lindsey creates a dramatic demonstration to show the world how “star power” works. Failure could mean disaster for her and her company.
In recounting Lindsey’s heroic effort, Green Goddess offers a satirical take on a range of contemporary issues, including climate politics, media narratives, trendy socialism, upper class guilt, corporate perversions of diversity and inclusion, and a corrupt politician’s reckless use of tax money for self-enrichment.

Welcome
There was a time when big corporations could ignore the protesters marching in front of headquarters, decrying their “evil” ways, as a minor distraction. Now the barbarians are inside the gates, with money and political power and board seats, making the revolution impossible to avoid.
These are particularly trying times at the fictional Crowe Power Company, which has made healthy profits for more than a century based on fossil fuels. All their customers want energy, but nobody wants to think it comes from messy sources like hydrocarbons. Something without tradeoffs—especially as it relates to the environment—would fit the bill.
So the pressure builds on Crowe Power’s founding family to “transition” from fossil fuels to the cleaner, greener future. But how?
Therein lies the central conflict of Fossil Feuds, my three-book series on the endless comedy, conflict and drama surrounding old line companies trying to survive and adapt. Come inside Crowe Power and see for yourself how intriguing and entertaining a struggling American dynasty can be.
Enjoy!
