In the mid-21st century, the human race stopped aging. Those who know why aren't talking, and the few who are brave enough to ask questions tend to disappear. To an elite few, The Change means long life and health, but to the increasing masses, it means starvation, desperation, and violence. Four centuries after The Change, Grace Harper, a blacklisted P.I., sets off on a mission to find the man responsible for it all and solicit his help to undo The Change - if he's still alive. To complicate matters, Grace's employer is suspected of murdering his father, and when the police learn of their connection, they give her a choice - help them find the evidence they need to convict Matthew Stanton, or die. But if they discover Grace's true mission, they won't hesitate to kill her in order to protect their shot at immortality.

From the Author

The Immortality Virus is one of those high-concept stories that came to me in a burst of inspiration...and then took three years to actually write. Each new draft came closer and closer to my original vision, and made me give new thought to the cost of immortality -- both individually and for society as a whole.

For those of you who read my debut novel, Touch of Fate, you may be surprised at the new direction my writing has taken in The Immortality Virus. One is a modern-day paranormal suspense, while the other is a far-future science fiction thriller. On the surface, they may seem to have little in common, but with each of my books I like to do two things. First, I write about female heroines with combinations of strength and vulnerability, who discover something important along the way. Second, I grow personally with the story and characters. In Touch of Fate, it was about learning to accept that which cannot be changed, and strive to improve that which can be changed. In The Immortality Virus, it was more complicated. I was exploring ideas related to the good of the individual, vs the good of the community, as well as the concept of love and forever. In this case, there were no flashes of inspiration or concrete answers, but I did enjoy posing the question.
