Hi everyone, following the thread on ecofiction — I'd like to introduce BLOOM: Crisis in the Mediterranean Sea.
The premise: warming Mediterranean waters trigger a mutated algal bloom with catastrophic consequences for marine ecosystems and human health. As a molecular biologist, I wanted the science to be genuinely rigorous rather than decorative — the story follows a scientist racing to understand the mechanism in real time, under pressure, rather than explaining it to the reader from the outside.
It's more science thriller than pure disaster fiction, for readers who appreciate technical plausibility alongside the human stakes. Happy to share ARC copies if anyone's interested.
