The Green Panthers

Chapter 2

I wrote The Green Panthers during the global Covid-19 pandemic of 2020/2021.

Thanks to my parents and to Patrick, Barbara, Sonny & Pepe for putting up with a pandemic refugee, and so much else.

Many people inspired me to write The Green Panthers, including writer-, artist-, activist-, free thinker- and freak-friends fighting for or dreaming of a more equitable world.

Laure Siegel, Richard Ehrlich, Austin Cowdall & Claire Roberts, Chris Roy, Elvina Flower, Mona-Lumir Woozmoon Fabiani, Aurko Maitra, James Newman, Brian Gruber, Ona Cots, and the Koh Surin crew – Albert & Five, Peter Hauser, Nat, Nut, Ben, Am, Kan (The Planton Girl) and Lena, Hook & Noah Bumiller-Klathale – contributed to bringing The Green Panthers to life.

Thanks for feedback on the first draft to Sam Murphy and Conor Wall.

Thanks to my agent Philip Patterson at Marjacq.

Thanks to Miika Hannila and his team at Next Chapter for a meticulous proof-read and support.
