About Alex Creveling

A disgraced microbiologist. A mysterious outbreak. A legacy no one understands—until it’s too late.

Anna Wainwright was brilliant—once. Now she’s drifting, numbed by a drug she can’t quite quit and entangled with the man who feeds it to her. 

When her younger sister collapses after a violent insect-borne attack, Anna’s instincts flare back to life. The illness isn’t random. It’s choosing its victims—and she’s running out of time to learn why.

Mik is a charismatic foreign researcher who speaks in riddles. His theories about inherited markers and ancient divergence strike her as both eccentric and absurd—but their connection is chemical, cerebral, and physical.

They are not alone.

Charlie—a war-scarred grandfather—throws himself into Anna’s investigation, driven by a loss he can’t outrun.

Diana keeps vigil beside her comatose son, only to discover the mystery is far closer to home than she could’ve ever imagined.

Brooks, desperate to atone, places his last hope in the hands of the very man now investigating him.

Each step forward reveals more than a disease. Journals scrawled in an obscure tongue and symbols no database can trace point to something older. 

Something watching. 

Something that remembers.

Told through five interwoven perspectives, INHERITED is a visceral speculative thriller by new novelist Alex Crevelling about the quiet terror of being known by forces you never knew existed—and the cost of uncovering a legacy you never chose.

Some legacies are whispered.
Some legacies are stolen.
Others are INHERITED.

Inherited is a visceral, slow-burn thriller about trust, legacy, and the cost of being chosen.

Advance Review: "The premise is chillingly believable, and the pacing is relentless in the best way"

The story wasn’t over. It was only delayed.

The outbreak was just the beginning—an engineered trial meant to uncover something buried deep in the human bloodline. Anna thought surviving meant escaping. 

But survival comes with a cost.

Now, with unexpected allies—including Charlie, a war vet back from the shadows, an escaped convict, a skateboarder with a secret, and a scientist on borrowed time—the reckoning begins.

A legacy was promised.

Now, it must be delivered.

Or destroyed.

Not all those who vanish are lost.  Some return carrying the echoes of something older than memory.

When Martín Arruza stumbled out of the Basque Hills after three years missing, he claimed he hadn't been lost -- he'd been chosen.  

Beneath the sea, in a place no map can find, beings older than time whispered secrets only he could hear.  They taught him.  Marked him.  And sent him back with a message: Prepare the way.  

The earth must be ready when they return -- and only those like him will understand why.

Is Martín a prophet of a legacy buried in myth? 

Or a man unraveling under the weight of delusion?

Either way, he's already begun ... 

This companion book to the Inherited Series takes you deep inside Martín's fractured memories, eerie visions, and the chilling legacy he believes he was born to fulfill.

In the Unity States, every choice requires a license—and freedom is the one crime you can’t afford to commit.

In 2050, the Unity States control it all: work, housing, marriage—even the right to have a child. If you defy the system, your baby is taken. Your name erased.

Clara Wynn, a sharp, stubborn twenty-two-year-old, finds herself pregnant without a license. And she refuses to surrender. To protect her child, she must vanish—not only from government records, but from the world itself.

Hunted by watchful neighbors and relentless officials, Clara scrapes together food, shelter, and safe passage through shadows. But the deeper she hides, the more she uncovers: a generational secret buried in the founding of the Unity States—and the real reason so many before her have disappeared.

Now Clara must make an impossible choice: remain hidden with her baby, or risk everything to expose the truth in a nation where truth itself is illegal.

Dark, razor-sharp, and terrifyingly plausible, The Great Experiment is a story about power disguised as progress—and one woman’s fight to prove that love can’t be licensed.
