China…but the trillions of dollars of debt we’ve pretended doesn’t exist?
U.S. Senator Rick Taylor has been warning anyone who’ll listen: the national
debt is no longer a spreadsheet problem-it’s a ticking bomb. But in
Washington, truth is toxic. Colleagues dismiss him, constituents scream about
“cuts to my benefits,” and the media paints him as the villain who wants to
gut Social Security.
Then the blackmail begins.
A shadowy network led by a ruthless operator making huge profits from
unchecked government spending will stop at nothing to silence anyone who
threatens the status quo. After Taylor’s wife is targeted in a terrifying
swatting attack and a sniper’s bullet nearly ends Taylor’s life, the message
is clear. Shut up… or die.
Jack was introduced to thrillers when Tom Clancy’s The Hunt for Red October
was published. However, for most of his life, he was a reader rather than an
author. During the 2000 Presidential election as he watched TV coverage of the
Florida recount with ‘dimpled chads’ and ‘hanging chads,’ he thought an
election conspiracy would be a great basis for a thriller. It wasn’t until
2020 when he retired from his career, which included management positions in
corporate America and small business ownership as well as a brief stint in
ministry, that he sat down to write Wayward Patriot: Preserving the Vote.
His unique approach to political thrillers rips headlines from the news and
weaves them through a thrilling tale of patriotism, political corruption and
crisis. He says, “when I see some major new issue or technology in the news I
want to learn more about it. I enjoy sharing what I learn with others by
wrapping a story around it that will engage and entertain readers.”
He and his wife, Barbara, have three grown children and seven grandchildren
and divide their time between Colorado Springs and Tucson.
