Author Rex A. Ewing
Rex Ewing’s diverse interests have led him from Colorado to Costa Rica to Alaska and back again. Along the way he’s worked cattle and horses, mined gold, and formulated equine nutritional supplements. His eclectic formal education has provided him with a good background in science and philosophy, and these are the subjects his mind naturally seeks out when given free rein. He is presently busy illuminating the voids that lie beyond the reach of science in his Novus Veritas essays and upcoming book series.
Rex is a nationally known non-fiction writer who loves a challenge, especially when he feels a need to give a fresh perspective on a subject, be it horse nutrition, or solar, wind, and hydrogen energy. Or something learned at the school of hard knocks, like handcrafting a log home far from the nearest power line. Power With Nature, 3rd edition is his latest renewable energy book for homeowners.
His novels include Winds of Purgatory, a thought-provoking story set in a remote Colorado mountain town. There science and the supernatural collide in a life-or-death struggle to either bring oil—a long-lost, wickedly destroyed commodity—back to the world, or banish it forever.
He currently lives at the end of a bad dirt road in the Colorado Rockies with his wife LaVonne and two dogs. There he writes from a hand-hewn log cabin powered by the sun and wind.
Winds of Purgatory
It’s been twenty years since an engineered microbe brought the age of oil to an end, triggering a civil war that left civilization forever changed. Now, in a world divided into tightly controlled urban islands and self-reliant rural settlements, Salia Warchez, a cunning priestess of the end days, is ready to bring the new social order to its knees.
Moving like a ghost on the fringes of civilization, the outlaw Salia is one of the select few who know the secret to oil’s demise. And now she intends to bring it back for her own nefarious ends. But there’s a problem, and it’s waiting for her in the Colorado mountain town of Purgatory. As smoldering rivalries suddenly ignite, the future of oil will be settled once and for all, in one of the most deadly and peculiar places on Earth.
Power With Nature
Power with Nature is not about political agendas or scientific prophesies, and nowhere will I denigrate you for your addiction to gasoline, your love of red meat from methane-farting cows, or the embarrassing size of your carbon footprint. It’s not that kind of book…
“Readers who want to be completely self-reliant, who are looking for cost-effective solutions, or who are somewhere in the middle—all will find something useful here …. Ewing writes in a folksy, informal manner, and readers will find his hands-on primer worthwhile.”

Reductio ad Absurdum
