E L Russell

Biography

Educated in mathematics and trained in research, I have spent ten years researching and writing White Papers for corporations on emerging technologies. My current writings reflect an eclectic interest in the impact these new technologies may impose on individuals and social groups. My latest research into programming genetic code and brain development has led three series of Science Fiction techno thrillers about reprogramming the human genome and micro genome by the next species of human: Homo Evolutis.
My wife, E C Russell is my co-writer and developmental editor. Our stories cover the spectrum from YA to NA.
Each series of novels is supported by several short stories and stand alone novellas that depict people dealing with the personal and social consequences of their emergence into a new human species, Homo Evolutis. With the ability to re-program inheritable genetic code and acquired immunity to disease, Evolutis fulfills its destiny as the first species to be self-healing and self-evolving. Through logical extensions of genomic science, new powers emerge, including the ultimate social-network and possibility of immortality.
The Evolutis Rising Series: Deadly Awakenings, Deadly Discovery, and Deadly Conflict tell the story of the emergence and self-discovery of Evolutis through the experiences of a scientific community.
The Cohort Series: OnSet, ReSet, and MindSet tell the story of Chloe, a young athlete and medical student, paralyzed from the waist down in a bike accident fearful that the voices she hears means she has onset schizophrenia, discovers the ability to heal herself and others with her mind. A science fiction medical thriller follows the emergence of Homo Evolutis from a medical perspective.
The Seeker Series: three novels involving time and space travel follow the story of nineteen year old Finna from the day she wins the squire’s tournament held in Vézelay, France, 1145, to become one of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine’s 300 women warriors in the Second Crusade. As Finna the Seeker, she survives feudal combat, the plague, and trials of travel and adventure through 600 years. She endures to take her role as a leader of a new species of human, Homo Evolutis, into the galaxy to combating galactic corporations and rogue elements seeking control over people and resources.

  • Dark Matter Syndrome: The Awakening on Nov. 24, 2013

    In Dark Matter Syndrome, Book One: The Awakening, a paranormal thriller, Michael K. Drummer takes us into a dark and exciting action filled world. His protagonists, Katie, a young woman, and Jonas, a mature Vietnam vet are all that stand between humanity’s survival on Earth and an evil, disease laden darkness. Trained in the Martial Arts, the author delivers non-stop, realistic hand-to-hand combat in a fresh, exciting fashion through vivid scenes and sharp dialogue. Vampire-like alien demons pursue Katie to gain control of her mysterious artifact and complete the destruction of mankind. Jonas protects and ultimately trains her to be his partner in combat. The writer crafts their journey through a treacherous path of twists and surprise in a vividly realistic, dark, and dangerous world. There is material here for an extended story spanning several books and the author’s initial efforts promise a successful series. I recommend this as a must read. E. L. Russell
