More from Michael

Silent Altitudes is a Cli-fi (Climate Fiction) thriller set in the near future. I wanted to avoid the current political debates over global warming, so I went with the assumption that the world eventually comes to consensus about what to do. The United Nations rolls out an elaborate technological solution, but sabotage and conspiracy lead to disaster on startup day. That’s the type of angle I enjoy writing. Climate change is the backdrop, but this book is about family and survival and fighting against the greed and corruption that have laid good intentions to ruin. It’s about loss and hope and trusting that God is still in control even when everything seems hopeless.

A significant inspiration for this book was a phrase my daughter would say when she was little: “Hold you Mommy.” It meant she wanted a hug. I contacted Laura, a pottery artist on Etsy, and ordered a custom mug with that phrase as a Christmas present for my wife. Laura was a joy to work with, and our conversation led to me developing characters and themes that provided the heart of my story. I find it’s those little inspirations that make the biggest difference in my writing.

My Thoughts

Silent Altitudes is not my typical read. It's more of a science fiction story than I am typically into and admittedly probably a little above my head in some places as well. As such, I struggled to really get into the story as much as I would have liked.

Still, I thought it was an intriguing idea and was happy to give it a chance. The story was well written with characters that drew you in and a unique world that was well developed too. While I cannot say that this book was my personal style, I definitely appreciated the storytelling what went into it. I feel like those who are more into science fiction will definitely appreciate this unique story all that much more!
