Exons

When Erika got a biotech job at Neuragene she thought she'd got it made. But like most things in life, it turns out it's not as good as it seemed, and the plush job came with a catch she decided she couldn’t live with. Now it’s 2031 and for Erika Morgen survival is a game of invisibility. In a United States that’s continued to become increasingly hostile to trans people, Erika’s living a quiet life as a researcher, a wife, and a mother. But she’s hiding more than her deadname and former gender. She is the geneticist who fled a corporate lab after creating a virus designed to rewrite the human body. Now, the past has woken up and is threatening her quiet life. The fascist government and corporate CDC spread misinformation and hunt for her former identity, but Erika knows the terrifying truth: the pandemic is her creation, and it’s spreading like wildfire. Erika has to thread the needle of staying hidden while a billionaire ex-boss hunts for her and the world around her collapses; all while managing the mounting guilt of the fire she started. With her family’s safety on the line Erika must decide if she wants to fix the virus or run before the state or her former boss destroys her world. Note: This is very much a work in progress... So, if you're reading it as I write, be warned it'll probably get edited heavily and things might come and go. Also be warned, I tend to write kinda slow. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Exons — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
