What does a romance-thriller look like in the Pandemic era? Welcome to a very possible near future with an unrelenting storm of murder and redemption. With the unexpected twists and turns of a thriller, Even a Pandemic Can't Stop Love and Murder takes a new approach to the genre. It is 2025. Nearly four years into the Pandemic Era, construction subcontractor Alby wakes up in an Iraqi hospital to find two shadowy men telling him he must get back to the U.S. and disappear-now. Because if he is ever found, terrorists will get their revenge for what he did. In a haze of pain and morphine, he chooses South Jersey, where the irritating presence of his sister Dorothy along with his favorite nephew Stephen are the only things about his new life that resemble any part of his past. Believing he is safely hidden in his cave-like garage apartment, he supports himself on under-the-table fix-it work while wrestling with nightmares of what happened in Iraq. But his minimal existence is about to be upended, to disastrous effect. Within the first twenty-four hours of this one-week, fast-paced thriller, Alby is involved in a major robbery, meets a dancer with a secret past and crosses paths with a psychotically polite hitman named Jagger. Something very valuable has been taken from a mob-run bank, and now, everyone is after Alby. Meanwhile, the still-present Pandemic only amplifies the constant presence of danger. Even a Pandemic Can't Stop Love and Murder, Vol. 1: Break the Bank can't stop the mayhem and romance that grows all around a man who just wants to do his job and be left alone. Break the Bank-volume 1 of 3-is based on a true story. Told to the author by his father, it is the true story of a mob bank getting ripped off and the ensuing violent consequences.

Autorenporträt
A.E.S. O'Neill grew up going to private school paid for by a mobster father, rocks out to the Grateful Dead and Beethoven for inspiration, reads comics to never lose his inner-child, and approaches the world with a "I-could-give-a-shit" about most of society's rules- except for the importance of decency, empathy and humanity. Roll it all up? He gathers and tells stories.After several decades of film school, professional writing, public speaking, and travel blogging (www.outsokentraveler.com) experience, his debut novel, Even a Pandemic Can't Stop Love and Murder, a three-volume, romance/thriller that takes place in the mid-2020s, is based on a true story. Told to him by his father years ago, the plot centers on a robbery at mob-owned bank and the violent consequences that followed.From a childhood marked by wiretaps, mob dinners, and FBI agents following his father, O'Neill learned to understand the complexities of love, crime, and human behavior that drives right and wrong. Inspired by the snappy patter of 1930s talkies, and the mundane, ever present danger of the Pandemic Era, he used this story to show what he believes are the major themes in human behavior: the interplay of light and dark, of love and death, of choices made and lived with. Despite all of his own life's more challenging lessons, O'Neill knows that love will always win.Two subsequent volumes in the Even a Pandemic series-Paying the Price and Checking Out-are soon to come.
