Halfway to MMXX The Year 2020: It Begins was published August 27, 2019. I have been surprised it has not been widely read. Although almost six years has passed, the story backdrop is as relevant today as when I wrote it. Russian military activities in the arctic form the setting to a group of scholars trying to prevent a cataclysmic event. The relevance lies in the fact that portions of the Arctic landmass are now being exposed due to retreating ice sheets, presenting opportunities for the extraction of Earth's resources. My fictional account blends exploration with a natural event and was accorded the LIFE (Literature for Environment) Award.
