Resonant Dust: Stories - Volume 1 is my first collection of science fiction short stories. It is also the first in a series of short story collections to be released in the coming months.

Swarms of microscopic entities traveling through space are hidden within clouds of cosmic dust. A child knows what people will say before they even speak. Training on another planet for the Olympics, an athlete gets more than she bargained for. A smart house takes its job of entertaining its occupants rather seriously. An android attending a public school just wants to fit in with the other kids. An estranged husband and wife make a surprising discovery about the chemical nature of love.

Eighteen science fiction stories to challenge the way you perceive humanity and the world. Most are uplifting and hopeful, some are cautionary, and all are mind-bending. Settle in and treat yourself to these visionary explorations of what might be possible.

Here are a few of my favorite reviews of Resonant Dust: Stories - Volume 1:

"I would strongly suggest not only buying this book but perhaps getting several copies, to give to friends you really like. They will thank you for it."
- John R. Sheehan on Amazon

"Wow. A great, really unusual set of short stories from a very imaginative author. I found it fascinating to read these varied stories - normally Stan's novels are full of weird and wonderful animals, and I was eager to see how he did on the more pure side of scifi. And the answer is, Very Well indeed!"
- Jenny on Goodreads

"Stan Smith is known for his unputdownable sci-fi thrillers, but now he's decided to expand his writing skills to mind blowing novellas. With his first installment of Resonant Dust: Stories - Volume 1, Stan has readers flipping pages and getting into multiple situations that by turns, amaze, concern, amuse, bewilder and outright scare them.
- Lisa Ann Sherman on Amazon

"From the foreword to the last page, I felt magnetically drawn to the stories in Resonant Dust."
- Sherri on Goodreads
