Dr. Deanna Nichols is a geneticist searching for a cure to
save the world. After the war nearly destroyed it by releasing an aggressive
virus, it was the vaccine that killed the humanity’s chances for progress and
survival. Deanna feels guilty because she has participated in creating the
vaccine, and General Mackenzie never lets her forget that.
Their luck changes when they are contacted by the convicts held in a secret military prison hidden in the arctic desert. The C deviance criminals are willing to negotiate and provide unaffected DNA samples in exchange for supplies and a visit paid by the doctor herself. Suddenly there’s hope, so Deanna embarks on a dangerous journey to a grittier reality than she had expected. Could a woman alone save the world? |

5. Are you a self published author (Indie) ?
As of last week, I'm both a traditionally published and self published author.
6. Who's your favorite author?
This is the type of question I can never answer. There are too many good authors out there to list them all.

Dune by Frank Herbert. It's probably not the best book I've ever read, but it's the one that first comes to mind when I hear this question.

The Last Argument of the Kings by Joe Abercrombie, third book from The First Law trilogy.

No, I didn't feel the need for one.

18. Of your characters, which one would you say is most like you and why?
The one character I initially modeled after me ended up being nothing like me so
19. What made you want to be a writer?
Definitely the fame and fortune. I guess it was the wish to share with others the worlds I saw in my head.

No, but if it's weird then it's not really a talent, is it? - good point!
