Miriya

2014

Destinies collide... Thirty years into the First Genetic Revolution, society’s tolerance for human derivatives is wearing thin. Clones and in vitros are regarded with suspicion, and mutants with resentment. Yet in spite of the hostile environment, some alpha telepaths—like Miriya Templeton—have thrived. Her luck is running out. Destiny has set her life on a collision course with Danyael Sabre, the alpha empath who can kill with a touch. Whether he becomes friend or foe, whether he and she live or die, will depend on the choices she makes. On her decisions hang the outcomes of the Second Genetic Revolution. Miriya, however, does not believe in destiny, nor want any part of the revolution. It is up to the enforcer, Jake Hansen, to convince her otherwise, and he is running out of time. Miriya is a "prequel" novella to the Double Helix series.

Zara

2015

She’s an assassin-for-hire. Everything has a price—Except love… When the U.S. ambassador’s daughter is kidnapped in Beirut, a SEAL team is sent to retrieve her. Their “advisor” is the master assassin, Zara Itani. She has as many ties with the Lebanese government as she does with the country's militant factions; friends and family on both sides. She is pregnant—but that is nobody’s business. She is also torn by her inexplicable feelings for Danyael, the alpha empath she betrayed into a life-sentence in a maximum-security prison, but that is definitely nobody’s business. After all, everyone knows that you can’t trust anything you feel when you’re around an empath. The kidnapping is the prelude to far deeper treachery, and the mission goes terribly, desperately wrong. As international political conspiracy edges toward renewed military conflict, Zara’s loyalties will be tested; her beliefs challenged. She could start a war, or she could stop it. Or she could trust the difference Danyael has made in her life—Tell me who you love and I will tell you who you are…. Zara will finally discover who she is, but what will her discovery cost the world, her allies, enemies, and ultimately, Danyael…? This award-winning futuristic thriller is perfect for X-Men, Heroes, and Alphas fans. Grab your copy and join the Genetic Revolution today! Read the full series consisting 1. Miriya 2. Zara 3.

Silence Ends

2012

When you choose your friends, you also choose your enemies. Seventeen-year old Dee wants nothing more than to help her twin brother, Dum, break free from the trauma in their childhood and speak again, but the only person who can help Dum is the alpha empath, Danyael Sabre, whom the U.S. government considers a terrorist and traitor. The search for Danyael will lead Dee and Dum from the sheltered protection of the Mutant Affairs Council and into the violent, gang-controlled heart of Anacostia. Ensnared by Danyael’s complicated network of friends and enemies, Dee makes her stand in a political and social war that she is ill equipped to fight. What can one human, armed only with her wits and pepper spray, do against the super-powered mutants who dominate the Genetic Revolution? America, nevertheless, is ripe for change. Exhausted by decades of belligerence between humans and their genetic derivatives, the clones, in vitros, and mutants, society is on the verge of falling apart or growing up. Which path will it choose, and can a mere human, her sassy attitude and smart mouth notwithstanding, light the way to a better future? In her quest to help her brother become normal, Dee will learn what it means to be extraordinary. When the silence ends, the celebration of life, love, joy, and hope will inspire feet to dance and hearts to sing.

Carnival Tricks

2015

NOTE: Alternate cover edition for ASIN B00U0TCYXC. In a world transformed by the Genetic Revolution, Kyle Norwood is an honest-to-God human and proud of it. His deadly skills come from hard work and not genetic sleight of hand. An easy mission to protect two Proficere Labs scientists turns into a shoot-out that leaves a scientist and a federal agent dead. Worse, the research data the scientists were carrying disappears. In a world where human derivatives are hated and feared, Sofia Rios is almost human. When a fight during her waitressing shift turns fatal, a dying scientist launches her into the shady world of scientific espionage. The unwilling trustee of research that people would kill to obtain, Sofia turns to the man who steps out of the shadows to protect her, even though he appears as dangerous and disreputable as the people who hunt her. Together, Sofia and Kyle must unravel the truth behind the illicit information she carries before one or both of them are killed. Their mutual attraction sparkles, but the spark could just as easily become an explosion if Kyle ever finds out that Sofia is a despised telekinetic.

3rd Place, Science Fiction, Royal Palm Literary Award 2016 When the trail of Danyael Sabre’s stolen blood exposes illegal scientific research at a Chinese laboratory, it unleashes a designer drug with terrifying side effects and imperils the decades-long peace between China and America. NSA analyst Mu Xin, the clone of a Shang-dynasty queen, steps into the fray to stem the chaos, but in a land where ancestral worship and beliefs in incarnation exist alongside cutting-edge genetic engineering, will Xin find herself trapped or liberated by her past? This is a standalone futuristic thriller set in the award-winning world of the Double Helix. Q - So, what makes the Double Helix series special? A - The Double Helix is a series premised upon the creation of the "perfect" human being, Galahad, but it is ultimately about his less-than-perfect physical template, Danyael Sabre, and the power, strength, and beauty found in humanity's imperfections. Ultimately, what makes the Double Helix series special are its characters. You will fall in love with them. The series offers readers a great mix of science fiction, urban fantasy, and action-adventure-thriller genres. It is also grounded in science.

The fast-paced action will have you turning pages, while the plot layers on complexity after complexity, offering you an unlikely romance you will root for and a happy ending you can believe in. Q - What order should I read the books in? A - The four books of the Double Helix series should be read in order for maximum enjoyment and a deep down, gut-felt happy ending. The other novels are standalone, but fit into the timeline as - Miriya - Perfection Unleashed (Double Helix #1) - Perfect Betrayal (Double Helix #2) - Zara - Perfect Weapon (Double Helix #3) - When the Silence Ends - Carnival Tricks - Perfection Challenged (Double Helix #4) - Xin Q - So, why should readers give these books a try?

The five novels in the series have won a total of eight literary awards in science fiction, including Gold Medal, 2013 Readers Favorites. Robin Lynn, an Amazon reviewer, describes it as "Truly enjoyable and delectable in its subtlety.

Sicarius Soul

2018

Some grudges live forever, and the worst enemies are the ones you didn't know you had… Alpha empaths are dying, executed by an assassin who leaves no psychic trace. Zara Itani derides the mystery as sloppy investigation until Danyael is injured by the assassin’s bullet. If he died, his empathic death throes would have driven everyone within ten miles to suicide. The only solution is to imprison Danyael beyond the reach of assassins, damning him to physical solitude and emotional isolation. Zara, however, bets on her ability to use Danyael as bait to draw out the murderer. Kill the assassin, end the threat, right? But nothing is ever easy in a world transformed by the Genetic Revolution. Sins of the past transcend decades and centuries to coalesce into a threat no one can contain. A vigilante driven by hate demands absolute vengeance—the suicide of millions of innocent people—and it will begin with Danyael’s death. This is a standalone futuristic thriller set in the world of the Double Helix.

Jade Kerrion, an award-winning author, got her start in fan fiction. She developed a loyal reader base with her fan fiction series based on the MMORPG Guild Wars. She was accused of keeping her readers up at night, distracting them from work, housework, homework, and (far worse), from actually playing Guild Wars. And then she wondered why just screw up the time management skills of gamers? Why not aspire to screw everyone else up too? So here she is, writing books that aspire to keep you from doing anything else useful with your time. She lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with her wonderfully supportive husband and her two young sons, Saint and Angel, (no, those aren't their real names, but they are like saints and angels, except when they're not.)
