Michael's new novel, THE FULCRUM, published June 10, 2025 with GFB.

"By equal measure inspiring and eye-opening, this riveting tale of the climate realities headed our way had me on the edge of my seat. Beautifully interwoven with rich Irish and Irish-American stories of pain and redemption, The Fulcrum is also, at its centre, a moving and modern love story. Decter has written a novel – soundly backed by both science and heart – that reminds readers that our collective willingness and actions can solve the climate crisis." – Dheepa R. Maturi, author of 108: An Eco-Thriller.

"In the romantic thriller The Fulcrum, lucky lovers work to bring awareness to the dangers of climate change." – Foreword

I very much liked this book. I have been a Fleming Bind fan for many decades. I learned a great deal that I do not know about Fleming. Recommend the book.
