Guest Author: Patrick Moffett #OurAuthorGang

Our guest today is Patrick Moffett

Website
Following a highly successful 35-year career in the IT industry, Patrick ditched his corporate life in the big city in exchange for a house in a coastal forest and followed his lifelong dream of writing a novel. Patrick lives with his wife of 47 years, two chows and an inherited poodle. In between penning his latest violent thriller, he enjoys the somewhat more peaceful company of his four adult children and eleven grandchildren.

INSIDE OUT

When Adam's wife, Wendy, is murdered, he executes a series of vigilante killings and, as a result, is invited to join an organised covert operations unit, rather than face life in prison. Given a new name and a new identity (and a faked death to boot), Adam adopts the identity of Bataleur and commences his new life as a trained and lethal fighter and assassin, working directly for the government. Alongside his new colleagues, he works to take down prominent political players when requested, targeting businessmen and women alike to maintain national security and apparent order.

Taking place in South Africa, Inside Out explores crime, gang culture and politics using multiple narratives and various newspaper clippings to paint a vivid and action-packed story of lawbreaking and violence that is well-concealed from society.

JOIN THE DOTS


From Afghanistan to Johannesburg, from Libya to London, a team of highly-trained undercover operatives is engaged in a race against time.

Martin Stevens, Eleanor Watts, Nombeko Tshivhase and Lukas Shabalala work for the underground agency IA3, under the command of Sid Blackman, Thabo Madonsela and Julius Mafere. When a child-trafficking ring is exposed, this team must enlist the aid of the CIA and the local police services in a dangerous mission to unearth the ring-leaders. But the tentacles of this evil gang extend far beyond the borders of South Africa and the team's investigation leads them deeper and further than they ever believed they would go.

What is the connection to the gangs of Soweto, and how is the nefarious and powerful Imam Abed Al-Kumein involved? What is one of the largest investment banks in South Africa's role and who is the mysterious hacker, Vladimir Al-Masri?

What is the most you would do, to halt the malevolent actions of powerful people? How many dots would you join, when they led you into unspeakable horrors and danger?

Books in the Spotlight #1 at #OurAuthorGang

In the spotlight today




FICTION
No one ever said being married to a writer was easy…
Jacque has always struggled to get his business ideas off the ground. From photography to catering to publishing, his poorly-planned endeavors have put a serious strain on his finances—and his marriage. Despite his difficulties in turning his passions into a paycheck, Jacque has always considered himself to be an intellectual, an artist, and above all, a writer. 
Ever-reliable Cindy is always there to pick up the pieces when Jacque’s ventures go awry, but it’s getting harder and harder to keep things afloat. She wants nothing more than for her husband to find his way in the world, and she believes writing is his true path in life—until she reads his novel.
Every marriage has its problems, but when a shocking betrayal leads to vengeance, will their marriage survive? 


ROMANTIC SUSPENSE

Is it possible that an ancient curse cast by a powerful witch sixteen-hundred years ago could destroy families in every generation for centuries?
Dark family secrets separated Sofia and Daniel when they were children, but fate brought them together years later. Jayden, Sofia’s brother, finds a leather book in his grandmother's secret room that was written in 426 by a shaman. Reading the ancient runes, they learn about their family's curse. If it remains unbroken, the curse will bring tragedy and ruin their lives as it destroyed many of their ancestors' lives. Could they find the way to break the ancient curse?
A glimpse into the lives of teenagers in present and past. How mental illness and the rejection of people who love differently effects families and peoples’ lives.
Suitable for young adults.



REDHAND by Tony Duxbury

POST APOCALYPTIC FANTASY
It is the new age of barbarism, hundreds of years after the collapse of civilization. Most of the vast knowledge that mankind had accumulated has been lost. The once great cities are either piles of blasted rubble or crumbling ruins. After society imploded, humanity turned on one another. Decades of war followed. The survivors banded together in tribes and clans. All the bullets and bombs have run out. It’s back to edged weapons and blunt instruments. Technology has taken an enormous step backwards, and so has humanity.
