Gemm&I

Flesh of my flesh; blood of my blood: Ignorance is bliss; infatuation, a feeling; love, a decision. Every family has secrets. That which is hidden shall be made known. The refiner's fire will blaze! The old shall pass away. You cannot stop what is coming...A considerable departure from his debut novel SICKs (released in 2018), Gemm&I takes a more light-hearted and less emotionally draining approach to mature situations. It follows the adult lives of a couple from "opposite sides of the tracks" who find themselves caught in a crossfire between curious pubescent offspring and a web of family deceit that predates their marriage. Though serious in concept and firmly within the lines of psychological fiction, Gemm&I's situations are frequently managed with comical tones that lighten otherwise distressing social puzzles. Structured like a play with three acts and two encores, this tale offers surprises throughout with a few fine twists in conclusion. Those who were able to endure SICKs may breathe a sigh of relief as they put it behind and enjoy Gemm&I.
