VIRUS HUNTERS
“I was social distancing before it was cool.” – Dr. Harper Randolph
Harper Randolph, Doctor of Medicine and Epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, was first introduced in the fact-based medical thriller, VIRUS HUNTERS.
The Virus Hunters team came together in the trilogy that was published in May of 2020, coincidently during the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. The team travels the globe as disease detectives, chasing deadly acts against humanity committed by microbes one-billionth the size of their victims.
When Harper isn’t chasing silent killers, she’s the wife of Congressman Joe Mills, a rising star in Washington politics, and shares their Atlanta home with her disease sniffing beagle, Doctor Dog. Harper often visits her grandmother, Ma, and great-grandmother, Mimi, in the historic antebellum home where she grew up.
A trilogy introduced the Virus Hunters team, but future thrillers will be standalone novels.
