Description
It’s 2125. Aging is a thing of the past but personal memories and desires are now under corporate management. Jenda Swain is a youthful 111 years old, content with her professional career, when a disturbing encounter with an old woman forces her to question her own identity, to begin searching for the woman she once was and might yet become. Her journey takes her into the arms of an activist artist who has a quest of his own; answers come together as their world falls apart.

Advance Praise
“Way of the Serpent manages to be at once a page-turner, with mystery, romance, and rebellion driving the plot forward--and a book that sticks with you after you read it. I found myself still pondering some of the passages and themes from this novel days after I'd finished it.” – Claire Villareal, Ph.D.
“Insightful and haunting! Vividly portrayed characters undertake a suspenseful journey of uncovering and fighting a corporate conspiracy.” – Maria Elena Sandovici, author of Dogs With Bagels
“This is a fine first novel: well-paced, good character development, and written with narrative skill.” – Ronald K. Wetherington, author of Kiva
