As the medical mystery thriller Diamond Chip continues, Jalena Diamond's discovery of the life gene begins a medical maze of intertwining intersections that lead to Shangri-La.
Chapter 6
As long as our nation is divided it will be unable to conquer – united we must stand, divided we will fall. ---Dr. Jalena Diamond
Chapter 7
She was 120, but looked 20! Thanks to stem cell company Lygene, it was possible. The life gene they made was able to override actuary projections through the Lygene Life chip. Nanotechnology and molecular biology intertwined in DNA strands was the basis for this fountain of youth discovery. By changing tanga molecules to manufacture life sprouting qualities through stem cells, the chip was able to enhance and rejuvenate. It allowed a renewal of the entire body by returning the body to the newness of the near infantile state. A Shangri-La of sorts. Humans were able to retain their basic individual infrastructure in an adult infantile state of newness.
Would Lygene’s Life chip, LGene, make disease and health insurance obsolete? “Lifers” took on a whole new meaning. LGene was designed to omit disease from the DNA chain. Preventing disease from occurring or recurring was the bottom line. LGene productions were not only young, but flawless. Everlasting.
In the wrong hands this could mean bad business especially in the situation of an emergency gone disaster near the clinic with the hidden supply depot. LGene could be a potential for population explosion or control as years of fertility were extended indefinitely.
What had Jalena discovered? As a savvy investor for medical moneymakers, her research genius helped her and her team glean the gene…
Chapter 8
The news crews descended on the White House lawn yet again. The President was about to speak. What she had to say everyone wanted to hear. Front and center was young, Zelen March. He was thinking back to a previous assignment…driving along the narrow, bumpy, tree shrouded roads that led him to a lighted tunnel…a master server…television transmissions were being observed and recorded in a command center…of the universe? All satellite dishes pointed southwest from every rooftop in the world directly to this master server for humanity.

"Diamond Chip": Dr. Diamond's Adventure Begins
Diamond Chip begins in the previous blog post. Chapter 3-5 continues as Dr. Diamond begins her mystery mecca in the social media maze.
Chapter 3
As she walked from the concert she could only think of the cosmic healing force surrounding the superstar. The misty December rain and subtle fog shrouded her in complete mystery. Gridlock in the city streets surrounded Jalena. Finding a taxi would be difficult.
She threw her hooded black and white raincoat over her shoulders as her heels began to hit the pavement. Before she knew it she was the edge of town. As she approached her destination, she could see the yellow cabs lining the lanes of the hotel.
------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 4
The steady sprinkle of rain felt good against her face. Raindrops sat on her long eyelashes as she blinked quickly to clear them. She lifted her right arm to hail a taxi. As she brought her arm to her side, she felt a hand grab hers. Turning quickly in self defense, Jalena let her guard down.
“I came back to let you know I got a thing for you. I can’t let go, darling,” was whispered in her ear near the nape of the curls on her neck. The soft whisper of warmth blew gently over her earlobe.
Jalena knew the touch, the voice, the soft whisper. All too well the gentle scent of August snuck up on her presence.
“August,” she whispered as their hands gently drifted down into a full grasp.
“What are you doing here?” she said.
He grinned as he nuzzled his nose gently against her earlobe triggering fireworks.
“Waiting for you,” he replied.
“Waiting for me?” she asked looking through the rain mist into August’s black eyes of wonder.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 5
Déjà vu…
During this stormy day there was little to do except social media on the Internet. Jalena’s geek girl sense was a guilty pleasure. She spent hours on the computer doing business and research on the Lygene, the next big thing in health maintenance and wellness. Medicine was her passion. As technology advances, so does the way you use it.
Jalena found that social media were great tools for emergency dispatch information, loosely speaking of course. It was another way to help real emergency data transmission. These social media moguls allowed for vast networking to anyone, anywhere, anytime. People you know. People you meet for the first time. Business contacts and groups fitting your interests, old and new. Connecting the dots to make all of this useful was the key to unlock the secrets that fell between the status updates. Like connecting the dots.
Jalena typed fervishly. She was trying to finish the last chapter of her proposal for Lygene. She quickly checked her social media timeline for news. She quickly scrolled down the pages of each open window careful to speed read every detail. Another uneventful day, same old stuff. Always looking for good news, there was little to be found on this day.
She scrolled and scrolled, clicked and clicked. Page after page went by in blurs of her teary eyes. Each page started to look the same with stories and pictures on inglorious ineptness. Coincidental items popped up as she surfed from page to page. Tracking monitors on the internet allowing you to feel in control of the next click. Sometimes she wondered if this was the case.
Computers are clever imitations of life. Social media sites are the CIA in disguise. Deceiving the bots is a full time task. Dr. Diamond used this strategy to make the web spider away from those who sought after her digital footprints. Internet confusion was no illusion.

Meet Dr. Jalena Diamond in "Diamond Chip"
This is an introduction to Dr. Jalena Diamond in my upcoming thriller, Diamond Chip. Her adventurous curiosity takes her on an unbelievable journey of excitement. See what happens as this heroine unlocks a medical mystery that could save the lives of many.
Prologue
Touch gently this life You have created.
Chapter 1
Dr. Jalena Diamond leaned back in her chair and stared at the computer screen. It looked back. Her social media sites had become weapons. The most important person in her life was missing, missing, missing…
------------------------------------------------
Chapter 2
Jalena Diamond, M.D. was known for her classy, elegant “dame with brain” demeanor. Shockingly beautiful and highly intelligent described her status. Her interests and training in preventive medicine and medical record review put her career at expert level.
She was different. To stand out she worked outstanding. Graduating cum laude from Medical University School of Medicine two years early allowed for an early career start.
Dr. Diamond felt her passions in life at an early age. Overcoming partial hearing loss and paralysis from meningitis at three years old were temporary roadblocks. A cochlear implant and superior sign language skills kept her going. The dancing skills and talent she inherited from her mother led to international travel and recognition as most of her teen years were spent abroad. This was the best job in the world, she often thought as she allowed herself to venture on Ventura Highway with daydreams of things unseen but hoped to come. Faith. Jalena loved the world stage. The best audiences in the world surrounded her.
