Love Her Blind & Other Poems
Within these pages, ember-ghosts entwine, And long, black rivers shine like tarred-out wine. Sunflowers hold gold; winter still will bite, Icicle tears turn breath to brittle night. Here love is iron, barbed, a rusted key; It bites, then brightens, binding you to me. A hammer-fist on glass makes spidered pain new, And memory rains, then dries to ash-streaked stain.

One Grain of Sand - Shards of a Shattered Sky 1
"...riveting and frighteningly plausible.” — Kirkus Reviews “…supremely intense and fantastically imaginative…” — Readers’ Favorite "...conveys sensations that most stories rush past." - Literary Titan Welcome to the United States of 2096. Freedom is a dream you fight for on television. Dissent earns you a trip to an internment camp, a reprogramming ward, or a disappearance so quiet your family forgets you walked the earth. And the boot on your throat has a flag stitched into the leather. They made it legal to hunt minority citizens on weekends. They turned healthcare into a game show. They spliced the human genome until it wept strange, shunned tribes onto the frayed edges of the republic. Noah Harpster doesn’t care about any of it. Three-time loser and petty thief—he’s spent his whole life perfecting the art of not mattering; staying small, quite, and head down. Then he meets Parlisse. She’s a beautiful, biracial...
