Does your novel put you in danger?

I have just submitted The Vesuvius Isotope for formatting. While the novel is now officially in the hands of those who will put it into print, its actual publication has been beyond the point of no return for quite some time. Quite some time ago, when I pushed the novel across the line to that point of no return, I also pushed a…See More

Theatre of the Macabre: Another happy little diddy from The Vesuvius Isotope

Profile Information

Favorite Book
Too many to choose one
About Me:
Kristen Elise is a cancer drug discovery biologist in a major pharmaceutical company; this company has a lot of lawyers and will thus remain unspecified.

The writing bug infected Kris as it does so many word addicts – by accident. Many years ago, while in the lab hunting for molecular inhibitors of a biological weapon, Kris stumbled upon a powerful activator instead. This discovery, this molecular grenade with the pin still attached, went into a freezer in a world-renowned research institute where it remains to this day. But not before prompting the question: what if?

Simultaneously, a literary friend challenged Kris to try her hand at story telling. So from the molecular grenade with the pin still attached, The Death Row Complex was born.

When the idea for The Vesuvius Isotope struck, Kris promptly locked Death Row into the freezer (along with the molecule that inspired it) to complete her second story, to which the first has now become the prequel.

Alongside hair-raising scientific findings, the novels of Kristen Elise reveal the underhanded, cut-throat underworld that is today’s pharmaceutical industry. Of course, these revelations are strictly fictional (again, those lawyers!) but they bring the reader through addictive, global adventures that remind us of one shocking truth: the Ph.D. is bound by no Hippocratic Oath.

Kristen Elise is a long-time resident of San Diego, California, where she lives with her human family and three canine children and continues to hunt for drugs and the stories they tell.

In the ruins of Herculaneum lies the Villa dei Papiri, a sprawling palace once owned by the father-in-law of Julius Caesar. In the 79CE eruption of Mount Vesuvius, the villa and its extensive library were buried and perfectly preserved. Today, they have been partially excavated. The…

Hi! So sorry that I am just now commenting back after...what...4 months? I have just recently (in Jan) had a baby boy so I've put my blog on the back burner for a while. I am just now getting a new post together after a trip to New Orleans. I had went on the idea that I would be gathering information about Marie Laveau for my "I'm back" post. I ended up learning a whole lot more about other things that I have seemed to of lost interest in her. Anyways - I went to your website and was wondering how do I follow? What did you mean about featuring me? Thanks so much!

Hello, Kristen,

Sorry I'm late on replying. I didn't get a notice that you contacted me. I've just followed your facebook page.

Thank you very much. I just left my introduction on your blog. I think it must have to be approved because it didn't show up when I clicked "Publish." Took some time and did some reading while I was there. GG

Very glad to hear that. I think the problem was that I couldn't see the entire page on my screen and I just missed it the first time. But I've subscribed without problems. Thanks. GG

Goodness, it wasn't my intention to offend. I can't see your entire web page on my screen. I have to move it back and forth, so I completely missed the widget on the left where one could sign up via e-mail. The reason I didn't want to become a member is because that's one more password I have to remember. No reflection on you or your website. I'm sorry that my question hit you wrong. GG

Thank you very much. I'm used to Wordpress, so every time I venture onto Blogger or another blog program, I'm faced with so many options, I don't know what to do. I appreciate your efforts on my behalf.

Hi Kristen. Is there a way to follow your blog without becoming a member or joining Facebook? Very interesting blog. Thanks, G G
