For Glenn Schwartz in Philadelphia, writing a cli-fi novel about the weather came easy. He's a certified broadcast meteorologist who has done the weather on TV for 40 years of his 47-year career. His specialty has been in forecasting and severe weather, especially hurricanes. He co-authored the award-winning Philadelphia Area Weather Book in 2002 and was inducted into the Philadelphia Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2010. His debut novel is titled The Weathermaker and is written under the byline of Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz. More on the nickname later. [Dan Bloom]
