The Erenwine Agenda

The Erenwine Agenda: A Hydraulic Fracturing Love Story is #1 of an ecofiction trilogy with love, mystery and adventure, exploring the intersections of design, ethics and the forces that shape our lives. Read standalone or in a series. It was shortlisted in the Visionary Fiction category by the International Book Award, and #2 in the series, Otter Coast: A Medical Marijuana Mystery, was shortlisted the American Legacy Book Award.

For readers of A Fire So Wild (Sarah Ruiz Grossman), The Light Pirate (Lily Brooks‑Dalton), and The Ministry of Time (Kaliane Bradley), this novel offers the urgency of eco‑suspense with the heart of a contemporary love story. Echoes of Wave (Sonali Deraniyagala), The Da Vinci Code (Dan Brown), and The Namesake (Jhumpa Lahiri) deepen its exploration of identity, ethics, and the hidden systems that bind us.

Amalia Erenwine is a rising architectural intern in New York City whose commitment to environmental justice collides with the realities of corporate influence. When her firm accepts funding from a natural gas conglomerate, she finds herself working alongside Mark Stone, a petroleum geologist whose own loyalties fracture under pressure. Their uneasy partnership - charged, reluctant, and unexpectedly intimate - forces both to question the narratives they've inherited about energy, responsibility and the cost of integrity in a warming world.

For Mark, the work reaches far beyond New York. His company pulls him back to Wales, where the rugged landscape and the weight of his ties complicate his sense of duty. In the stark beauty of the Welsh landscape-wind farms turning above old mining towns, tidal flats shifting under a restless sky-he confronts the fractures in his own beliefs. Seen through his eyes, the novel widens into an international terrain where energy, history, and identity collide, revealing how deeply the past shapes the choices he must make.

As Amalia is drawn deeper into the project, the world around her sharpens into a landscape of signals-intuitive flashes, dreamlike impressions, and the insistence of the natural world. Her sensitivity to place becomes both a burden and a guide, revealing the subtle pressures shaping her choices. Torn between inherited expectations, emerging desire, and the systems she can no longer ignore, she begins to sense that the real conflict is not just with Mark or the corporation behind him, but with the stories she has long believed about service, responsibility, and her own voice.

An ecofiction novel about power, desire and the revolutions that reshape a life.
