It is the weirdest bio-terrorism attack ever!The Rainbow Virus is a gripping, realistic bio-terrorism tale that launches readers on a harrowing adventure with the flips and plunges of the wildest roller coaster.
Just attended the La Jolla Writer's conference. I will post more later but here are a couple of things I learned. Go to Amazon and look at books that are similar to your books. Choose a book or two and look at the 5 star and the 1 star reviews. Everyone has people who love their books and those that hate them. Then look at the Categories these authors use. You should change your categories at least every six months.
The conference was excellent, if anyone is interested in going to a writers conference next year here is a link to register for the 2019 La Jolla Writer's conference at $100 off. https://lajollawritersconference.com/...
Thank you all so much for your comments. This is how Norman Mailer handled profanity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nak...
In a previous novel I added a thick accent to the dialog of a foul mouthed Russian hacker. Got no complaints about the profanity in that book.
Here is a terrific You Tube video on how to add categories to your books listing on your Amazon Author Pagehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GO-X...
Reviews are coming in for our newest scifi thriller. Some are five star and no mention of the profanity. Some reviewers are put off by it, and focus on it and give it two stars. I would love to hear the opinions/experiences from readers, and from other writers, of using profanity with such characters as: navy seals, Russian thugs, and a foul mouthed lawyer.

You feel ecstatic! Until you kill yourself.
The Happy Chip is the latest nanoengineering wonder from the high-flying tech company, NeoHappy, Inc.
Hundreds of millions of people have had the revolutionary chip injected into their bodies to monitor their hormonal happiness and guide them to life choices, from foods to sex partners.
Given the nanochip's stunning success, struggling science writer Brad Davis is thrilled when he is hired to co-author the biography of its inventor, billionaire tech genius Marty Fallon.
Do You Trust hThat is, until Davis learns that rogue company scientists are secretly testing horrifying new control chips with “side effects”—suicidal depression, uncontrollable lust, murderous rage, remote-controlled death, and ultimately, global subjugation.
His discovery threatens not only his life, but that of his wife Annie and their children. Only with the help of Russian master hacker Gregor Kalinsky and his gang can they hope to survive the perilous adventure that takes them from Boston to Beijing.
The Happy Chip, an edge-of-your-seat thriller, spins a cautionary tale of unchecked nanotechnology spawning insidious devices that could enslave us. It dramatically portrays how we must control our “nanofuture” before it’s too late.

The robots were good. The Russian thugs were evil. But then...It's 2050, and self-learning, neuromorphic “Helper” androids have become invaluable aids to humans, efficiently making their lives easier. Built and trained by such companies as Helpers, Inc., the Domestic Helper robots manage their owners’ homes, run their errands… and in the case of the erotic, alluring Intimorph model, even offer them marvelous sex.
The robots even save lives. The remote-controlled Defender line, has revolutionized warfare, by keeping human soldiers out of harm’s way.
The Domestic Helpers’ lifelike “secondskin” and programmed sociability have enabled them to fit right in with their human owners. And with their sophisticated, adaptable neuromorphic brains and meticulously engineered safeguards, they have proven benign and trusted.
