Lives of Museum Junkies
🏆 2024 International Firebird Award Winner – Dystopian Novels
🏆 Literary Titan Gold Award – Thrillers
The battle began when water was labeled a commodity rather than a right, and Glacier Oceanside joined the ranks of the world’s largest water cartels. Top executives didn’t count on being confronted by James Hokama Byrne, an employee the company mentored since his high school graduation.
But delivering to drought-stricken farms and getting kidnapped in Ethiopia changed the young man’s outlook. When Glacier Oceanside began draining aquifers on his grandfather’s reservation for bottling and to send to marijuana farms, something within him snapped. He couldn’t remain silent. If you like action with a touch of romance and cry for misused populations, you won’t want to miss this call to action.
