Matt Fitzpatrick, author, talks about his newest thriller - Demon Tide. This is episode 457 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Matt is a former investment management professional who jettisoned Wall Street to pursue his dream as a novelist. He is the proud father of two daughters and enjoys every minute of watching them thrive and excel. A licensed Coast Guard captain, Matt cherishes life by the ocean and time boating on Nantucket Sound. With a deep media background mostly steeped in radio and print, he considers it a gift to be able to tell his stories and share his life experiences through the eyes of his protagonist, Justin McGee. Matt lives on Cape Cod. For more information visit him at mattfitzpatrickbooks.com
Matt is the author of The Justin McGee Trilogy.
Today we are focused on part 3 - Demon Tide…
A little about Demon Tide... This is a community that has lost its innocence. A quaint New England town that meets the growing opioid epidemic head-on. The town’s casualties build up as local law enforcement, as well as out-of-towners in the form of Justin McGee and his “family,” realize that it’s a crime that stems within the community’s own. A town whose roots are the source of pride are shattered knowing they have been infiltrated by the New England Nova Scotia drug trade.
Thanks for listening.
