A Ghost for a Clue
IMMORTOLOGY, Book 1
A Thought-provoking Science-fiction Look at the Afterlife
2022 Eric Hoffer Book Award Finalist - Science Fiction
Bram Morrison, an aspiring astronaut, has always believed that death is where it all ends. Until he gets a phone call from a dead friend.
He tries to dismiss it as somebody’s bad joke, but the chilling mystery proves far too compelling. When Torula Jackson, a botanist, tells him her laboratory might be haunted, she offers him a chance to investigate—and he dares to look behind death’s door.
That choice puts a risk on his lifelong dream. NASA wants him to deepen the science of our world—not the afterworld. Exploring the bizarre is a sure way to invite ridicule. But his deepening relationship with Torula, compounded by a twist of circumstances, compels him to stay and chase the supernatural.
With each equation and each experiment, he gets closer to the answers humanity seeks about the physics of our soul, sparking objections from those who fear what he might discover. Struggling to reconcile his own skepticism with what is slowly unraveling to be real, he dares to investigate what happens to our memories after we die—starting with a ghost for a clue.

THE MIND-BLOWING SEQUEL TO “A GHOST FOR A CLUE”
With the help of NASA, a computer glitch, and a ghost, Bram Morrison, a robotics engineer, may have given science a new means to put death on hold. But despite the new landscape he’s opened up, the Great Beyond is still territory with no solid ground for science to stand on.
Still helping Torula Jackson, a biologist, realize her dream of studying what happens to consciousness after death, Bram risks his reputation, future, and ambitions by revealing his growing belief in the bizarre. Despite his modifications on the Verdabulary software that has helped ghosts reach out to the living, it will take more than apparitions in 3D glass chambers to convince scientists and doctors that the afterlife exists. When the ensuing research ends up with more questions than answers, trouble brews for all the souls still fighting for a foothold in the afterworld.
Can souls really persist indefinitely in crystal storage devices called willdiscs? What about Franco, Bram’s recently deceased friend, can he help provide answers? These and more mysteries unfold in A Ghost in a Bottle, the second book in the IMMORTOLOGY trilogy—giving readers more of this rare blend of science fiction and the afterlife.
"If you want something exciting, thoughtful, gracefully written, and original, then this book is one you shouldn’t miss." – ★★★★★The Book Commentary
A Ghost with a Heart
IMMORTOLOGY, Book 3
The Climax to the Trilogy Where Science and the Afterlife Meet
Torula is safe inside a hospital—but she’s not out of danger. Bram and the rest of the team in NASA Ames now find themselves with a whole new set of puzzles to solve.
Much has been explored. Much has been created. Go deeper into a future world of hyperwills and Motowns, willdiscs and iCubes, HyperCons and hyperloops. The science that unravels the mysteries of never-ending life meets a new series of challenges as it collides with more medical, legal, and ethical issues. The bigger question is: Should their secrets be shared so the public gets a glimpse of what happens when scientists and engineers meddle with the soul?
The Immortology trilogy culminates with a surprising twist that ISEA and the Fulcrum deem necessary for the Pangaea mission to be a success. It’s a climax that leaves everyone with even more avenues to explore.
