She taught as an AP Physics teacher for five years in Florida. She now lives in Oregon, teaching horseback riding lessons and managing the stables with her mom. She enjoys hanging out and talking about science concepts and story ideas with her dad. What it is to be human doesn't apply anymore. The surface of the Earth has been poisoned by years of abuse and now most life lives beneath the waves of the ocean. Over the last 500 years, humans have become fragmented and specialized by genetic manipulation, but two main factions exist in the Undersea. The hybrids, a race that continues to genetically modify themselves to climb the social ladder, and the humans, the unmodified organic race that makes up the lowest tier of society. Alex, a Delta Six hybrid, finds an unlikely companion in a human man, Jack, while on a mission to steal the Athena file. Alex withholds the file to elicit help from Jack and they set out on an adventure across the Surface. Their relationship is tenuous until a device mysteriously links them together. Now, running from Alphas, an elite group of hybrid assassins, Alex and Jack must weather the hostile surface of the planet to reach their common goal. They soon find they can't both have the thing they want most, but also can't seem to let each other go.

O Fluxo rege o universo. Presente em cada átomo, ele dita quem é mestre e quem é bife de fenda. Enquanto 75% da humanidade vegeta no Nível 4, uma elite quase divina de Nível 6 governa o mundo de dentro de muralhas colossais, divididas milimetricamente por quatro Grandes Clãs. Léo pertence a essa elite de monstros. Dono de um porte físico imponente, cabelos brancos e a mente fria de um psicopata, ele carrega uma das habilidades mais perigosas e instáveis do mundo: a marca do Ladrão. Ele pode roubar o poder dos mortos, desde que consiga equilibrar as leis existenciais de compatibilidade. Se falhar, o sistema faz um reset e ele perde tudo. Mas Léo não quer glória ou riquezas. Ele é obcecado pela visão mais bela que o ser humano pode produzir: o desespero absoluto. Disfarçado como um reles combatente de Nível 4, ele infiltra-se no Clã da Montanha para iniciar uma destruição de dentro para fora. Ele quer ver os fortes caírem de joelhos. Ele quer ver a traição sangrar. Uma história de fantasia sombria e progressão de poder onde o protagonista não é o herói que vai salvar o mundo — ele é o desastre que vai garantir a sua aniquilação.
