Julie Moffett, Geek Girl Mystery Writer

To say that I am a fan of Julie Moffett's "Geek Girl Mysteries" is a real understatement.  I was impressed with the quirky and funny characters, so I got my husband hooked on the novels (which is really saying something).  He NEVER reads "chic novels" but now asks me when Julie's next book is coming out.  (He would consider reading one of her Romance novels until a new Geek Girl novel is released--really?)

If you haven't read one of these books yet, then get started!  You've got some catching up to do.  In addition to the ten-book Lexi Carmichael Series, Julie has a spin-off White Knights Series featuring teenagers who were introduced in Lexi's books.  Both series are 5* in our opinion.

I came up with the idea to feature a hero the exact opposite of a James Bond-type character. So, I created an antithesis character—female, geeky, no fashion sense, socially awkward, and she has to save the day with her BRAIN as opposed to her stellar good looks and charm. From that, Lexi Carmichael, geek extraordinaire, was born. I did, however, make her a Bond geek, which makes for a lot of fun laughs, and some of the titles are twists on Bond themes. I also wanted to make it cool for a woman to be in a highly-dominated male field and have her kicking it, as well as breaking some glass ceilings along the way... :
NO ONE LIVES TWICE
​(A Lexi Carmichael Mystery)

Get your Geek On! Prepare for adventure with reformed hacker and trouble magnet Lexi Carmichael as she does whatever it takes to help the good guys win.

I'm Lexi Carmichael, geek extraordinaire. I spend my days stopping computer hackers at the National Security Agency. My nights? Those I spend avoiding my mother and eating cereal for dinner. Even though I work for a top-secret agency, I've never been in an exciting car chase, sipped a stirred (not shaken) martini, or shot a poison dart from an umbrella.

Until today, that is, when two gun-toting thugs popped up in my life and my best friend disappeared. So, I've enlisted the help of the Zimmerman twins—the reclusive architects of America's most sensitive electronic networks—to help me navigate a bewildering maze of leads to find her.

Along the way, my path collides with a sexy government agent and a rich, handsome lawyer, both of whom seem to have the hots for me. Hacking, espionage, sexy spy-men—it's a geek girl's dream come true. If it weren't for those gun-toting thugs… NO ONE LIVES TWICE WHITE KNIGHTS

Geek Girls Rule!

My name is Angel Sinclair. I’m the youngest senior at Excalibur Academy for the Technologically Gifted and Talented in Washington, DC. I was pushed ahead a year because of my high IQ and considerable prowess behind the keyboard, making me an outcast even among my own peers. I’ve been looking for my dad all my life. A brilliant mathematician and cryptographer, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances when I was eighteen months old. Although my mom tells me I must put him in my past, it only makes me more determined to find out what happened to him. 
 
When weird accidents start happening at my school and the vice principal is involved in a deadly incident, I don’t see it as a coincidence. After launching my own investigation, with the aid of an unexpected set of allies calling themselves the White Knights, I discover a threat far greater than I ever could have imagined. I could take my discoveries to the authorities, but my own investigative methods would be at risk. Can anyone say hacking? 
 
No, it’s up to me to set things right. My objectives are straightforward: clear the name of the vice principal, learn the truth about my father, and stay alive. In other words, save the day and try not to look too much like a dork while doing it. White Knights
