For those of you not familiar with the series, Lexi is a geek
first-class—a gamer, hacker, book nerd and fangirl who double-majored in
mathematics and computer science and has zero social skills. Her day job for a
hot new cyber-intelligence firm has landed her an exciting case on behalf of
the sexiest uberhacker in the universe, code-named Slash. Slash's uncle in Rome has been accused of siphoning money from the Vatican Bank and
it’s up to Lexi to hunt the hacker and clear his name.
Here
is a short excerpt from the book:
I’ve
loved listening to music since I was a little girl. Not because I’m musically
gifted, but because notes, themes, chords and tempo all have an intrinsic
mathematical logic that speaks to me. After all, music is defined by its
numeric divisions, such as a beat, a measure or a bar. Musical scales are
actually harmonics based on the numerical ratios present in the Fibonacci
series, which are a sequence of integers beginning at zero and one and
continuing with each new number being the sum of the previous two.
I
know all of this because I’m a geek first-class. My name is Lexi Carmichael and
I’m a mild-mannered twenty-five-year old who, thankfully for music aficionados,
is not employed in any part of the music industry. By day, I work as the
Director of Information Security at a hot new cyber-intelligence firm just
outside of Washington, D.C. By night, I’m a gamer, book nerd and fangirl (Bond,
Star Wars, Dr. Who, Lord of the Rings). I’ve got long brown hair, no
discernible curves and zip in the social skills department. I double-majored in
mathematics and computer science at Georgetown University with a specialty in
cybersecurity. Ask me to talk about a rigorous axiomatic framework or
computational complexity theory, and I’m all over it. Ask me to make small talk
and I’ll imagine myself jumping off a bridge.
Haven’t

the series NO ONE LIVES TWICE, is now available everywhere ebooks are sold for

I love geeks! :D I'm curious - how did you research her job for the books? I have someone super-techy who's screaming for his own book. His nickname is Einstein, so he has a lot to live up to. ;)
Favorite geek? Hmmm... I loved MacGyver while growing up. Not sure if he qualifies? More contemporary...I really like Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds.
Yay! Congrats on the new release, Julie.
Fav geek? I'm going classic. Holmes. Sherlock Holmes.
Anne Marie--if I were picking fav geeks on Criminal Minds, I'd have to vote for Penelope!
Congrats on the release of No Place Like Rome, Julie! As for favourite geek, I'm partial to all four of the boys on Big Bang Theory.
Anne Marie: I LOVE MacGyver!! I adored that show growing up!! I think he definitely qualifies as a geek! :)
Julie: I'm a Sherlock Holmes geek, too! I've only seen Criminal Minds a few times, but Spencer and Penelope are great choices as well.
Marcelle: I've never seen Big Bang Theory, but I've heard all about Sheldon ... :)
I want to grow up and be a geek. Wait. Too late, already grown. Loved MacGyver because he combined geek with common sense and who couldn't love that cutie. My favorite first class geek today is my nephew, though. :)
Favorite geeks -- this is a no brainer. Scotty, Spock and Commander Data.
Congratulations Julie on your new book. Very much looking forward to reading it. Regarding favorite geeks, I enjoy Dr Daniel Jackskson from Stargate SG-1.
Sandy: Love your choice of geek! Family rules! :)
Brad: Yes, of course, my favorite geeks of all time!! Spock, Data and Scotty!!! Wait until you read No Biz Like Showbiz! Star Trek rules!
Gordon: I enjoyed all the Stargate shows. Surprise, but references to Stargate also appear in No Biz Like ShowBiz! :)
Thanks for stopping by! :)
