Resistant: A Novel (publisher: SparkPress), is a hybrid of thriller and science-based fiction that draws the reader in to an action filled plot. Bacteria won the war against our medicines. She might be evolution’s answer. But can she survive long enough to find out?

When antibiotics ceased to work, Rory Stevigson lost her mother to an infection, the same type that has killed a seventh of the world's population. Then stoic and scarred Navy, a young military veteran, enters the quiet life she leads with her father on their farm, and Rory finds herself drawn to him despite his mysterious past...until he reveals that her blood may hold the cure the world needs, and she is a target because of it.

The government’s research arm, TEAR, wants to sell the cure to those who can afford it. The Resistance would give the cure away to all, and they’ve sent Navy to find her before TEAR can. Now Rory must go on the run if she is to find the new path of human evolution before TEAR finds her.
