My book is available and ready for consumption. Check it out!

This is the sequel to Devil in the Microscope.

Living in the shadow of her father’s science laboratory might have been everything Anika dreamed of if only her father wasn’t planning to use her blood as his personal fountain of youth. The secret to his eternal life had been brewing in her veins for the last sixteen years.

Anika needs to change his mind or run for her life, but first, she has a mutant alligator to catch, her would-be boyfriend to save, a renegade principal to stop, and a monster to rescue.

Anika leverages her new friends and their strange abilities against the scientists and their creations. In order to survive, they will have to become the monsters they are trying to defeat.

Check out my book announcement at Immortal Works

It’s officially announced at Immortal Works. My mug is there staring back at you. My book’s description is there for all to read. See it all at Immortal Works.

So, what am I doing now? I’m editing like mad, hoping to provide a slick copy for my edit to really sink his or her teeth into, so we can make my book’s words as fantastic as the story is in my head. I should be assigned an editor soon. When I hand off the manuscript, I’m going to dive head first into another project, probably the sequal, but I have another novel that is already 50,000 words long and a complete story. I still have a lot of work to do on that one before it will be ready to send out. Will it be about a mad scientist? You’ll have to wait to find out.

My book is going to be published

by modemstring@gmail.com | posted in: Mad Science, Writing | 0

After many queries to agents and publishers, my book is going to be published. I just signed the contract with Immortal Works Press to publish my novel, Devil in the Microscope.

Devil in the Microscope follows Anika as she moves in with her scientist father in a town he built around his mysterious genetics laboratory. Most of the town are scientists employed by her father, and Anika discovers that the whole town is literally mad, mad like Dr. Frankenstein mad. Anika navigates her way through high school, fending off wayward science projects, vindictive evil geniuses, and the possible threat that her father might be using her for his grand experiment.

Anika finds allies at her new high school, other kids also being experimented on, and they unite around Anika to defeat the mounting threats to their lives. Anika relies on her scientific skills, her wits, and the unusual talents of her new friends to survive.

I love this story and these characters. I’m just starting the editing process, but I can’t wait until I can get my story into people’s greedy hands. It’s coming…
