PRESS RELEASE: NEW RELEASE FROM DEBUT FICTION WRITER – JEREMY TAGER

Cairns, Queensland, Australia – 10th July 2025 – Bowerbird Publishing’s Crystal Leonardi shares news of a new title by debut fiction writer, Jeremy Tager.

Shaking the Trees begins with one act of sabotage. And becomes a lifetime of consequences…
When Jake, a passionate environmental activist, desperate for action on climate change, starts to take drastic action, he sets off a chain of events that threatens everything he holds dear—his freedom, his future, and the woman he loves. As the storm he ignited grows more violent, Jake loses control even over his own life.
Meanwhile, his father Ian—an aging academic and firm climate sceptic—faces a reckoning of his own. With the death of his wife comes the uncovering of long-buried truths, including a cache of unopened letters from his sister lost to war and trauma. Letters that speak of survival, betrayal, and a city under siege.
Spanning continents and generations, Shaking the Trees is a gripping novel about the legacies we inherit and the choices that shape us. It asks how far we’re willing to go for what we believe—and whether love can endure the fallout.

Jeremy Tager has been an environmental activist for many years, working both here and overseas on a wide variety of some of the biggest issues that face all of us, such as climate change, widespread species extinction, land clearing, ocean protection, forestry, food and agriculture, and emerging technologies. He is widely published in non-fiction journals, including Nature Biotechnology and The Alternative Law Journal. He has worked as a campaigner for Friends of the Earth, the Greens, Greenpeace, and others.
Launch details: Jeremy will launch ‘Shaking the Trees’ on the Atherton Tablelands before planning further launch events throughout Australia.
