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.

All the Podcasts…

Over the last two months, I’ve been on three podcasts talking about writing, mad science, and my book, Devil in the Microscope. In case you missed them, here are the links. Thanks to all of the hosts for being awesome and for listening to me ramble about stuff that I love. I had fun at each one.

 

Dungeon Crawlers Radio

I talked with the awesome DCR crew about the choices I made writing Devil in the Microscope, including why I chose a teen girl as a protagonist, why my story takes place in Florida, and why I chose mad science as a backdrop. They had excellent questions and were entertaining.

StoryHack Podcast

Bryce and I had a great conversation about all the fun stuff I love: board games, mad scientists, writing, and my book. Bryce is also a writer and runs the StoryHack magazine. Check it out.

StoryHack Podcast: Interview with Ryan Decaria

Writescast

r. r. campbell has a great voice and a excellent format in his podcast. He grilled me on my mad science and science fiction in general. We discussed whether the science in science fiction needed to be realistic and accurate or whether it is better to treat it like magic.

And if you not sick of listening to my sultry voice, you can also head over to Meeple Nation to listen to me gush about all the awesome board game action.

May I recommend episode 177. We talk about mechanics and themes that we are suckers for in a board game.
