Earth’s orbital shield is humanity’s last defense against a scorching sun. But when a fanatical alliance—led by a televangelist and an imam—moves to seize control of the system, the cure becomes the weapon.

UN hydrologist Dicky Kruger survives a brutal attack in the Sahel only to find himself at the heart of the conspiracy. Together with engineer JP and climatologist Sophie, he must race to stop the countdown to apocalypse as the Umbrella is turned into a precision tool for flood, drought, and fire.

Scratch & Sniff is Mr. Harwood's first
YA Novel.
Two hapless entertainers come from a Universe where physics is more like cartoons.
Escaping from the wrath of their evil monster overlords, Scratch & Sniff find themselves zooming through a vortex to land in Kansas USA. The trouble only starts from there.
















My style as a writer is to let the tale come to me rather than heavily plot an outline. This organic telling results in my enjoying the same delight as the reader. As the story unfolds, the characters reveal the twists and turns, their individual branches leading to where there is most light. Relationships bud and collapse, conflicts abound, existence is pondered, and finally a satisfying resolution presents itself. And of course there is action. I am a literary adrenaline junky. It is my job to build your curiosity, tease your senses and keep you on the edge of your seat.
