10 Chapters

Next thing she knew, Mol was in a seated position at a slight recline. Monitors were beeping and flashing. She must be hooked up to those. Had she been in an accident? She couldn't remember. She couldn't remember anything at all She bit back the panic welling up inside her. Think, she told herself. Nothing would be gained by losing her wits. Slowly she remembered. The 10 Chapters Series is a science fiction alternate reality adventure that continues from one book to the next. It is dystopian and futuristic with mystery, suspense, and thriller subplots. 10 Chapters is the series spin-off from The Serena Wilcox Mysteries (a series of twelve books). Imagine if God had given all of us free will, in which every possibility was predestined and preexisting. All possible outcomes exist, but we see only one: the life we have selected and been fated for. What if we could access the other paths, the ones we had not chosen, the ones we had not been fated for? What then? Fender is one of the 2% of the world's population whose spirit has twinned with another soul. Due to a technical glitch in his government-issued chip, Fender's spirit has been uploaded and transferred to the body of another person who is living as Fender (call him Fender #2) in an alternate reality. Yet another Fender (Fender #3) has taken Fender's body. You see, there are nearly infinite Fenders, as there are nearly infinite potential outcomes for nearly infinite choices that Fender, Fender's family, Fender's friends, random strangers that ever crossed Fender's path either directly or indirectly, politicians, criminals, researchers, teachers, and countless others could have made. Scientists are calling this phenomenon "spirit confusion" or "spirit transference," but don't let those lofty terms fool you. They have only named the problem. They have no idea how to solve it. While scientists wring their hands, politicians are hiding this disastrous truth from the public. As the afflicted 2% are revealed, they are taken to a secret government facility where they are studied and monitored-and hidden from the world. But among the scientific community are heroes in the making, whistleblowers who work tirelessly to identify the 2% and find them before the government does. Fender is recruited by the DOVE agency, where he is the supervising agent to Mol, an intriguing young woman who is unpredictable, temperamental, and fiercely independent. Mol may be the heroine the 2% has been waiting for. But Fender has managed to lose track of her already. Has Serena Wilcox put her faith in the wrong people?
