CYD CASSONE & CRAIG BELL
CYD AND CRAIG
Different Minds. Shared Mission. One Epic Universe.
What happens when two completely different people spend nearly five decades as friends—and decide to write a military sci-fi series together? You get Eyes in the Black, the first installment of the Gangrel War saga, born from a lifelong bond between Craig Bell and Cyd Cassone.
Their personalities, perspectives, and creative instincts couldn’t be more different—and that’s exactly what makes their collaboration work. One brings blunt strategy, the other, compassion and intuition. That contrast fuels layered storytelling, dynamic world-building, and characters shaped by both conflict and connection. The result is a universe built on grit, myth, and unapologetic imagination.
Beyond the First Chapter
A Living Galaxy, A Growing Legacy
We’re expanding the Gangrel War Universe with new character arcs, stories, and star systems. And we want others to join the journey. Inspired by the collaborative spirit of spaces like Baen’s Bar, we hope to create an incubator for aspiring writers to explore and contribute to this world. If you’ve got a love for sci-fi, strategy, and stories that bite back, we’re saving you a seat.
