Tamanous Cooley

by K.J. McElrath

Overview

Set in Portland, Oregon during George W. Bush's Reign of Error, Tamanous Cooley revolves around environmental activist Amanda Laszlow. She is part of the Northwest Conservancy, an organization fighting a huge legal battle against NOG Biotics, a corporation attempting to seize a sensitive wetland to use as a dumping site. NOG's corporate lawyer is Eldon Littlejohn, nominally a member of the Yakama Indian Nation - and Amanda's ex-lover.

After an abortive suicide attempt following a major legal setback in the Conservancy's fight for the environment, Amanda starts having a series of strange experiences in which she finds herself in parallel worlds or other dimensions - and each time, Amanda discovers clues that may help save the Tyee Wetland - but the knowledge may be much more than she bargained for....
