Jon Pepper: Missy’s Twitch—new satire book on climate alarmism | Tom Nelson Pod #154
Jon Pepper is a novelist, entrepreneur, and business consultant based in New York City.
Missy’s Twitch is the fourth novel in his series, Fossil Feuds, centering on the bickering descendants of industrialist Homer Crowe and their battles with politicians, activists, competitors, and one another. Jon’s previous books were recommended by Kirkus Reviews (Green Goddess is “a rollicking ride” and Heirs on Fire is “wickedly funny”) and the New York Post (Heirs on Fire is “a clever corporate satire”).
A native of Michigan, Jon won numerous awards as a national writer and business columnist for The Detroit News. He was also a radio talk show host, president of a media firm focused on nanotechnology, and an executive for energy and automotive companies. He is president of the strategic communications agency, Indelable, which he co-founded in 2014.
Jon’s career as a journalist, executive, and entrepreneur affords him an inside view on the pressures of running an enterprise in a contentious world. With an eye for comic absurdities, colorful characters, and telling detail, Jon brings readers inside a fictional c-suite for an entertaining story.
“I’ve been a fan of satire since I opened my first copy of MAD Magazine as a kid,” Jon says. “Since then, I’ve gravitated toward send-ups of business and politics such as the movie, Office Space, the TV show, Veep, and the novels of Tom Wolfe and Sinclair Lewis. The biggest challenge in writing satire these days is staying ahead of the parody found in real life, which keeps catching up with my books.”
Jon and his wife Diane, a graphic artist who designed the covers of his books, reside in Manhattan.

Soon/Connollys: Challenges of the detection and attribution of global warming | Tom Nelson Pod #153
Dr. Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and geoscientist, is a leading authority on the relationship between solar phenomena and global climate. In this 32+ years of singular pursuit, he seeks to understand the Sun-Earth relations in terms of not only meteorology and climate, but also in terms of orbital dynamics of Sun-Earth-other planets interactions, magmatic (volcanoes) and tectonic (earthquakes) activities. His discoveries challenge computer modelers and advocates who consistently underestimate solar influences on cloud formation, ocean currents, and wind that cause climate to change. He has faced and risen above unethical and often libelous attacks on his research and his character, becoming one of the world's most respected and influential voices for climate realism. In 2018, he founded the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES-science.com) in order to tackle a wider range of issues and topics without fears nor prejudices.

Dr. Michael Connolly is an independent scientist, based in Ireland.
Lecturer and tutor at third level in the fields of physics, chemistry, electronic engineering, computer science, mathematics, and statistics.
I qualified as a plasterer in 1969, as an electrician in 1970 and have experience in all building trades. In 1975, I built our first house entirely on my own. The last time this house was sold it went for approx. $1 million. Since then, I have designed and built hundreds of buildings and houses.

About Ronan Connolly:
I am an independent scientist, environmentalist and writer.
My primary university degree was in Chemistry, and my PhD in computational chemistry/polymer physics. However, in 2004, I shifted to environmentalism, and began working with my father, Dr. Michael Connolly, on developing sustainable methods of fish-farming, aquaponics and waste-water treatment. We also carried out research into developing low-cost heat exchanger systems and new energy efficient building materials and techniques.
