About the Book

Jenna McClure, tired of waiting for Mr. Right, decides to have a baby on her own — a decision that brings her face to face with sociopathic fertility doctors who threaten her life while playing God with her genetic material.

Dr. Elizabeth DeMauer thought she´d never have a child. Then Jenna walks into the clinic, and, suddenly, everything changes. Elizabeth decides to steal one of Jenna´s eggs, a simple procedure that the "donor" will have no memory of. But from the beginning, things go terribly wrong.

Reverend David Carmichael MD, thought he´d put his past behind him when he founded a secluded Church, in which he could practice both his faith and his embryological skills. Then Elizabeth, his longtime friend and lover, called in a huge favor, and his peaceful little world spun out of control.

Eric Troutman didn´t think he´d ever find a life partner. Then one night in the midst of a restaurant robbery, an incredible woman steps into his life. After she just as quickly disappears, Eric becomes obsessed with finding her.

What reviewers have to say about Beyond Conception:

"I very much enjoyed the read. The narrative is well paced, the characters are likable and interesting, and the dialogue is convincing. Ms. Sellers has terrific instincts for commercial fiction writing. I am very impressed with her debut." Assistant Editor, Avon Books

"Beyond Conception is plotted and paced masterfully. Every character has a different set of motives, yet they are weaved gracefully into one story. This is one of the few novels I´ve read where the climax is really ´climactic.´ Assistant, Writers House
