After several decades of a highly successful New York marketing career, film school, professional writing, public speaking, and travel blogging experience, Alfred O’Neill (THAT’S ME!) has always been a collector fo stories and dreamed of writing novels. But it took the tragedy of losing his wife to cancer to push him — and homage to their love — to finally get around to writing novels. His debut novel, Even a Pandemic Can’t Stop Love and Murder, is a romance/thriller that takes place in the mid-2020s and is based on a true story and was highly reviewed by Kirkus, among others. Told to him by his father years ago, the plot centers on a robbery at a mob-owned bank and the violent consequences that followed. Reviewers were torn between liking the wit and banter of the romance or the gray evil mundanity of the killer, Jagger. Even Climate Change Can’t Stop Love and Murder, Vol. 2: Paying the Price continues the adventures of Ginger and Alby, falling in love while always immersed in troubles that just seem to find them. With their search for love at its core, the story faces the reality of crossing America in 2026, fraught with insurrectionists, white supremacists, and a hitman they believe is dead. It is a story of love, a road trip West, forces of evil and good, love and murder, culminating in a violent climax at the national Pueblo monument, Tuzigoot, Arizona. We learn of Ginger’s dark past and experience the destruction of climate chaos and how it can affect many of our current societal and personal divisions. 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 drive right and wrong, good and evil. 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. I am currently outlining a novel entitled Guilt, also based on a true story of my father’s federal trial court case and conviction and its aftermath. In addition, I am in the plotting-out stage of a cozy detective series called The Blow-Ins, about an American couple who is forced to hide out in a small Irish town; between navigating the quirks of the Irish and being strangers, trouble just seems to find them!
