Science Fiction audiobook One Grain of Sand cover image. This is a deep, emotional, dystopian sci-fi audiobook for readers who like books that try to make them reflect on their lives, our society, and where humanity is headed.

What WOULD you do?

And for that matter, what happens in Books 2 & 3, because I'm writing them & I don't know yet.

Looking for new #authors to interview? I'd be honored @literaryhypewoman.bsky.social #booksky

I've written several books of #poetry & just sent my 1st #sciencefiction novel "One Grain of Sand" into the world in print, ebook & audio.

#podcastguest #amwriting #booklovers #dystopian

This is an image of the book cover of my FIRST science fiction novel "One Grain of Sand." Here's the premise:

What would you do if you lived in a near-future United States of America in which the President has declared weekend minority culling "Passes" legal?

In which citizens must compete in reality TV programs for healthcare, the right to travel, higher education, or "freedom" to live in private segregated communities?

In which tribes of hybrid simian creatures live in primitive outlier compounds scattered throughout the country; societal outcasts and rejects from government-sponsored human genome experiments gone awry?

What would you do if you were falling for a beautiful biracial climatologist and artist who might be a member of a radical "terrorist" network? And whose twin sister "might" be part of that group? And you knew someone, somewhere, probably has placed a bullseye on your head?

This is the future in which Noah Harpster, humble incongruent anachronism, pickpocket, and three-time loser, finds himself cast.

Like you, he's got some tough decisions to make with too few options.

To the government, and everyone else, he's just one more grain of sand in a colossal hourglass.

And time's running out....

@johnnymancspice.bsky.social 2 of 2) What if you could be either one grain of sand in the hourglass of that society, or one grain of sand in the gears of its machinations? Alot of what ifs to factor through, but here we are.....#onegrainofsand #debutnovel #sciencefiction #speculativefiction

It grows stronger, enlarges, becomes more elastic, more encompassing, and ageless every time a bullet, spear, (or head) bounces off it. But, shucks, now we're talking about my "Shards of a Shattered Sky" trilogy.

Flyer for my new science fiction or speculative fiction novel "One Grain of Sand." If you enjoy science fiction or science fantasy or speculative fiction novels, this baby is the "must-read" for you. You can find links to print book or ebook retailers at https://boldly.blue/shop today!

Sometimes you're "one grain of sand" in the hourglass of life, or you can be "one grain of sand" in the machine. If you lived in Noah Harpster's reality, which would YOU choose?

Visit the stately estate of brilliant inventor Dr. Peter Hardamon. Dr. Hardamon works for the government, but is also...let's say not always agreeing with it. Without Dr. Hardamon there is no "One Grain of Sand" and arguably, no future.
