David Somerfleck writes from Hampton Roads, Virginia — where the Atlantic keeps its long, salt-soaked silences and the horizon hints at hidden harbors just beyond the day's reach. His fiction lives in the fissures where society's seams silently seek to split — where justice curdles into machinery, where the surveilled become the surveilling, where one ordinary person discovers, much too late or perhaps just in time, that the same machinery built to grind can be ground to a halt by a single well-placed grain. His debut speculative novel, One Grain of Sand — Book One of the Shards of a Shattered Sky trilogy, winner of the Literary Titan Book Award and praised by Kirkus Reviews as "riveting and frighteningly plausible" — sits catalogued in the Library of Virginia's Indie Virginia collection. Beneath the fiction runs the verse. Four poetry collections — Love Her Blind, Join the Flock, My Grandfather's God, and Nothing to Do but Stay — taught the prose its pulse and its patience: the willingness to linger where lesser language would hurry past, to listen for the weight a single syllable can carry. The novelist's sentences still keep the poet's cadence coiled beneath them. And on the practical side of the page — for readers who prefer the working machinery to the menacing kind — The Illustrated Guide to Digital Marketing and The Road to Digital Marketing Profits compress three decades of agency work, teaching, and copywriting into manuals a practitioner can actually put to use. A third volume, Quotes to Inspire and Elucidate, gathers the borrowed brilliance of others into a commonplace book for hands and minds at work. But the skies still silently seek shattering. Two more volumes of the Shards of a Shattered Sky trilogy are still gathering in the twilit author's office — and further off, quite quieter, a blossoming business book Bloom & Grow bides its own slow season, proof that the pen that maps the machinery can also tend what, against everything, still insists on growing.
