"A thriller that makes you think! The Nirvana Plague is a mile-a-minute race to understand and contain an outbreak of...what? Is it a virus, bioterrorism, a movement, or the next stage of human evolution? Well-drawn characters will lead you on a wild chase in a thriller based on a great what-if premise. The book is written with authority, imagination and intelligence." -- Amazon reviewer
What if perfect peace and happiness were a contagious disease? In this fast-paced, thought-provoking thriller, a schizophrenic scientist, an ambitious Chicago psychiatrist, and a hard-driving Army colonel are at the center of a frantic international struggle between the powers of government and a mind-bending outbreak of cosmic consciousness.
A bizarre illness spreads through a Chicago psychiatric hospital. Dr Carl Marley, a bored but ambitious psychiatrist, seizes the chance to grab some attention by "discovering" the new disorder. But when an Army colonel summons him to a government-sponsored taskforce to investigate the syndrome, he learns the disease he thought he'd discovered is already so widespread in the military that it threatens to undermine the foundations of power. A high-stakes race to understand the disease takes the team from the NIH campus in Bethesda, to a war zone in the Kashmiri highlands, to a high-tech biodefense facility near Juneau, Alaska.
As the outbreak spreads around the globe and desperate governments impose increasingly severe measures to contain it, Marley begins to suspect that what is happening is not the apocalypse they fear - but something far more radical. Marley's star patient, a brilliant but profoundly psychotic scientist named Roger Sturgeon, escapes from the facility into the city, and Marley attempts to bring him back before the government sends in troops. Only then does he learn the truth about what is happening.
Before it's over they will all be forced to choose between the precarious comfort of the world they know and the mysterious wonder of a new reality - between their commonplace fears, ambitions, and loyalties, or the hope that lies in The Nirvana Plague.

It gives you a little taster of how Cuba and Dovey met and how their relationship began. In this prequel novella you see another side to Cuba, you get a glimpse into his home life which gives some insight into Cuba's ways.

Reviews:
This touches on one of the strengths of the novel - that it is both plot driven - as well as an intimate portrait of a young woman's painful journey toward maturity….This is a page turner with heart and deserves to find a wide readership - www.sffmedia .com
"Stonewiser" is a finely crafted fantasy with unique concepts, and a vivid living world that will draw readers in and not let go. Midwest Book Review (Reviewer's Choice Selection)
Once in a while, a new fantasy/adventure comes out that doesn't travel well-worn paths in the genre but instead gives us a vivid new world, an exciting set of original characters, and page after page of non-stop intrigue, action, twists, revelation, and fun. STONEWISER is the best to appear in years. - Barnes & Noble review
Machado's writing is as competent as her characterization, being vivid and often poetic. The plot itself is well devised and generally moves along at a good pace… There are quite a few surprises… I was surprised to find that the novel was often a little darker than I expected, and there are one or two quite brutal moments that add a nice (dare I say it) gritty feel, without coming across too heavily. Machado's world also comes across well in her writing. -
