rakdaddy), friend, triathlete, geek and fellow Fictionado just dropped his first sale to Futurismic, and what a sale it is!
I had the great fortune to read a REALLY early draft of this story during our Fictionados critique sessions, and it damn near blew my mind. It's got some of everything: Violence, cell phones, cute bullies, Mean Girls, geeks, socio-political commentary, biting sarcasm, drugs, near future science fiction, electioneering, detention, and hi-tech sex toys for high school seniors.
No, I'm not kidding.
You need to definitely check it out if you're at all into science fiction. Just be warned: This ain't your mamma's blend of SF. It's down, dirty, and fun. Not for the easily offended, the young, or for work. Read it on the bus. You can explain why you're giggling to that 55 year old lunch lady sitting across from you. I'm sure she'll appreciate it.
But, you should let Adam's work speak for itself. Enjoy Adam Rakunas's novella, The Right People.
