Calling Crane publishing is the collected works of
Joe and Paula McHugh.

We use the name Calling Crane from the ancient Chinese philosophy the I Ching or Book of Changes.

"This refers to the involuntary influence of a man's inner being upon persons of kindred spirit. The crane need not show itself on a high hill. It may be quite hidden when it sounds its call; yet its young will hear its note, will recognize it and give answer. Where there is a joyous mood, there a comrade will appear to share a glass of wine."

With this idea in mind we hope that we find our like-minded friends and that you enjoy our creative works.

A TECHNO-THRILLER ABOUT THE PERILS OF ENERGY CAPITALISM AND THE NATURE OF TIME

“Kilowatt looks the looming electrical energy crisis in the eye and doesn’t blink. Neither will you once you read this compelling book. McHugh has spun an inspiring and entertaining tale about how ordinary working people can stand up to powerful corporate interests.”
