The year is 2030. A Category 5 hurricane makes landfall in southern Florida. After decades of rising sea levels, the incredible storm surge caused by Hurricane Florence is enough to leave the city of Miami underwater. As the storm clears, it becomes painfully obvious that the waters won't recede anytime soon. Many of the city's inhabitants become refugees, and the few that remain will have to struggle to make their city livable again.

This is the premise of Goodbye Miami.

Goodbye Miami is a climate fiction blog that tells the tale of Kass, an American climate refugee who flees Miami in the wake of Hurricane Florence. Since it's the tale of a refugee, much of the story takes place outside of Miami. Wherever the main character travels, though, the story is always an exploration of the causes and consequences of climate change.

I invite and encourage you to check out Goodbye Miami. For the full effect, start from the beginning and work your way forward to the "present" (today's date in 2030). If you like what you see, please share it with your friends. You can even become a supporting character in the story by posting a comment from the perspective of someone who lives in 2030. The comments are moderated, so if I like your comment, I will approve it. I can also change your username to whatever character name you like.

Thanks for your interest and support! I look forward to hearing your feedback about Goodbye Miami. In the meantime, if you enjoyed Change, have no fear. I'm still working on Order, the next book in that series. I find it very helpful to work on at least two projects at once. That way, at any given moment, I'm bound to feel motivated and inspired to write at least one of them!
