J. L. Morin's humor unmasks the hypocrisy of life in New York in the days of bank failure and Occupy Wall Street. A new hire, Jerry teeters between acting like a trading floor cyborg and activism battling Wall Street corruption . . . as if she didn't have enough to worry about hiding from her dark past. For Jerry, New York in its heyday means hanging with the guys, finding nothing but users, and developing a sex addiction. Then the economic crisis descends like a praying mantis devouring its mate at the moment of ecstasy - and the bank sets her up. Not one to let homeowners down or push clients to invest in the stocks the bank is trying to dump, Jerry is convinced she can outsmart the machine. With the help of Occupy Wall Street, she spreads the word through the human microphone. There's little prospect of finding another job when Jerry blows the whistle . . .

Cygnus Sci-fi Book Award 1st Place Winner; Book Excellence Finalist; ScreenCraft Semifinalist (top 12% of submissions); Fish shortlist (top 4% of submissions); A cli-fi love story, released December 6, 2020, from the author of the award-winning novel NATURE'S CONFESSION. A woman euthanasist and an Egyptian farmer delve into the evolution of the collective soul...as an extremophile virus targets a select few. Cli-Fi at its best, where the twisted scientific changes of our present-day lives catalyze love in parallel universes. LOVEOID grapples with the dilemmas of the latest generation of humankind--that the loving don't survive. In the present-day novel LOVEOID, Olivia unravels a virus that only harms the corporate upper crust. In combat with media, governments and corporations, as love-lacking predators on top kill off life on Earth, Olivia finds love, and comes to question her own ideals. The impossibly mixed match encounters life-threatening obstacles, as Khalid elicits her darkest fears, yet lights the way with ancient holistic remedies and spiritualism. Will love allow them to stay human? "LOVEOID is a wildly unique and immensely realized science fiction thriller set in a dystopian present in which overpopulation is decimating the Earth and its natural resources at a rapid rate. Additionally, the world of the story is incredibly deep, filled with dense detail and nuance that give the impression of a very realized universe."--ScreenCraft"With a new, scary virus as the backdrop, Olivia and Khalid navigate love, cures, and a different world. A timely novel with an interesting message about love and nature"--Booklist "Loveoid, the new novel from JL Morin, aims to change the evolutionary trajectory of life on Earth by putting power into the hands of those who love rather than those who prey."--Dragonfly.eco"About time some serious writers and artists took on the biggest issue of our time--maybe all time. This novel shows that engagement fully underway!"--Bill McKibben, Founder 350.org"The smart choice to set this eco-thriller in the present brings home the tenebrous climate prognostications we usually reserve for another year."--Brussels Express
