The program will begin at about 10 a.m. on Sept. 18 at Sharpened Iron Studios at 1314 S. Polk St., just south of downtown Amarillo. The program is free for members, and guests can pay $10 at the door.

Moore, an Amarillo resident and sixth-generation Texan, is a former analyst and operations officer with the CIA and consultant for the Department of Defense. Moore then went on to help secure mineral rights as a landman in the Texas Panhandle before becoming a full-time author and speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are beyond thrilled to have an author of Taylor\u2019s caliber speaking for our members and guests,\u201d THPW President Rick Treon said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a while since we had someone come in who\u2019s just had such a major debut released by a Big Five publisher. And the fact that it\u2019s set right here on the High Plains makes it that much more exciting for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore signed a two-book deal with William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, in May 2020. \u201cDown Range\u201d is the first book in Moore\u2019s series about an undercover DEA Special Agent Garrett Kohl who must help protect an Afghan orphan and his family from the ravages of the drug trade near Canadian, Texas. Book 2 in the series is in production but no release date has been set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His debut has been called \u201cintense,\u201d \u201criveting,\u201d and \u201cstunning\u201d by New York Times bestselling thriller authors such as Mark Greaney, Brad Taylor, and Don Bentley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moore\u2019s presentation will include his publishing journey, and how many years it truly takes to become an \u201covernight success\u201d in traditional publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
