Detective James North is called upon to deal with a young, mentally unstable man holding a child hostage at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. When he arrives, he is disturbed to discover that - although the bad guy is a complete stranger - he's been asking for North by name. The hostage situation goes wrong, and North finds himself injected with a substance that causes hallucinatory nightmares and flashes of memory that are not his own. He begins to hunt through New York for his attacker, a man he feels inexplicably compelled to kill - a man called Gene. As he does so, North unlocks the secret of his past, a past that stretches back over 3000 years. GENE is the story of forgotten Greek warrior Cyclades who fought and died in the Trojan Wars, and was fated by the gods to be reincarnated seven times. Locked in a cycle of battle with the Babylonian Magi Athanatos, Cyclades must once again strive to defeat him and thwart his quest to achieve immortality. Cyclades and Athanatos. North and Gene. But in this incarnation, neither man knows which is which, or why each of them has the instinctive need to kill the other.

Fifteen-year-old Ian Daly’s moral universe is turned upside down when, at his father’s funeral, he discovers that his father had two secret families. “Cassidy’s debut is affecting . . . Like the best coming-of-age novels, Here Lies a Father grounds its big concerns in the exquisite particulars of one person’s life.” —Literary Hub When Ian Daly and his sister Catherine arrive for their wayward father’s funeral in his small and desolate upstate New York hometown, a secret that was kept from them their entire lives emerges: their father Thomas abandoned two other families, leaving behind two furious wives and several children who never knew their father. Ian wants to know more of the truth, but his sister and mother want to preserve the carefully constructed myth they’ve created around who Thomas really was. In the cold, lonely winter landscape of small-town New York, fifteen-year-old Ian sets out alone to learn the truth about his father’s past and the families he left behind. Here Lies a Father examines the long-term effects shameful secrets have on a family, and how difficult it is for a young man to reconstruct his own sense of right and wrong, when every value and moral principle he was ever taught was based on a lie.

"The End Of Us" Is a tale of two intertwined love stories set in a dying dystopian world. ••••• The human race is not going out with a bang or a nuke. It's fizzling out into oblivion. It's 2060's. It's been six years since the second wave of virus that has killed almost all the women on earth. Now only a handful of cities hold the human population. With a set of bio camps protecting the remaining women not only from the virus. But also from an Occult hell-bent on wiping out the human race by killing all the women. Eve, my little sister, was ten when she was bagged, tagged, and taken away from me into the safety of a bio camp by the U.N.E. But now, after all these years. I'm forced to halt all my attempts to find her. I looked at the reason sitting next to me. A seventh-gen bot. The most beautiful one at that. I held the steering wheel with my sweaty palms as I drove through the empty streets of the Greater New York City. I still couldn't believe that I was given someone as beautiful as her as my companion. Focus. I need to get rid of her. I reaffirmed my resolve. The last thing I needed was for this government snooping pet to find out that I was trying to find my sister. The bots couldn't be trusted just like the government. They haven't been able to stop the attacks on bio camps--- "William, look at those drones." She patted my thigh with excitement and pointed at a flock of birds gliding in the sky. "Those are birds," I said and adjusted my glasses. "Woo..." She squinted at them, and then looked at me. "But they look so unreal." Her awed expression and that warming smile made my heart beat a tad bit faster. And I couldn't help but ask myself, Is she really a bot? She is. I looked away from her. All the women are in bio camps. If she was real, being out here would have certainly killed her by now. I knew I needed to get rid of her as I did with my other bot. Because if I don't. The Occult will attempt to kill my little sister again, and this time she may not survive.
