Morgan Chai
Morgan Chai (pronounced like sky without the 's') was born and raised in the military as her father was a career Air Force Senior NCO.
Morgan is a Women's Army Corp Veteran (WAC) and a former female Senior Intelligence Agent, and as such worked in, with and through all levels of foreign and domestic government; having worked for the lowest man on the totem pole to bumping elbows with President Ronald Reagan. Her particular area of expertise, as relevant to RETRIEVED and its sequel STOLEN LIVES, is that she had the unique opportunity to work and live amongst the invisibles, the children that no one cares about. They are the children of human trafficking and human slavery. This happened in Mexico, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, South America, India, Turkey, Greece, the Far East, the Middle East, Europe, etc., not to mention even in the United States.
Before leaving the Intelligence Community she was a highly skilled technical writer, a top ranked researcher, and a risk taking, challenge loving Agent who specialized in espionage and counter-espionage activities.
She adamantly states that although her Badge and Credentials are retired, her heart and mind are not, and the research in all of her books will bear this out. She's a master storyteller.
As for her publishing history, unfortunately 17 years worth of extensive writing and publishing are classified and the property of the US Government. However, as you will read in "Retrieved" and "Stolen Lives" (and even in her other books), that hasn't stopped her from documenting her experiences.
Morgan was born and raised in the US Air Force and served 17 years in the US Army. She is now a Disabled American Veteran. Morgan traveled extensively during her entire life, mostly overseas, and she currently lives in the Colorado Rockies.
Interestingly, in the 'Acknowledgments' of "RETRIEVED" and "STOLEN LIVES" she thanks the US Government for their diligent training, as well as their attempts to control a wild, daring, risk taking, renegade female Intelligence Special Agent, but that she is especially grateful for their failed attempts at restraining her. That should tell all of us a lot about this unusual woman.
Morgan provided this to us in regard to "Retrieved" and "Stolen Lives":
Greetings,
Since retiring I have been driven to not only to write about the many experiences in my life, but most of all, in regard to "Retrieved" and "Stolen Lives", writing on behalf of the world's children. That makes me a little fish in a big ocean—a big, big, big, shark infested ocean.
But what I have to write gives me that extra little edge that enables me to slip through their teeth. Being a little fish sometimes has its advantages. However, the problem is that those sharks don't want me to write the truth. They don't want their soft underbellies exposed, AND they do have vulnerabilities. As long as I am alive I will continue to write about them and the scourge that they are and what they do.
"Retrieved" was sent to over a hundred Literary Agents, and not one of them disliked it. Every agent "passed it around in their agency" (their words) and "everyone thought it would be a blockbuster" (their words)...however, they all ended up saying the same at the end: "We don't think your book is of a genre that major publishers are looking for."
I can't help but wonder, have those sharks infested the publishing industry in a way as to keep the truth from surfacing? I hope not, but the evidence tends to suggest it might be so. And I say that because I've sold several hundred books (and given away more) to people in their teens all the way up to a 90 year old. They all made powerful comments in support of the book and not one said anything counter to A-plus reviews.
My main purpose for writing Retrieved and Stolen Lives was and is to expose what's happening to the children of the world. And, as in all my books, I write honest and factual answers to the basic interrogatives especially in exposing the plight that faces the world's children. I write from a position of experience and knowledge. That's what empowers me to keep up the battle to get my books into the proper hands. The hardest part of all this however, is that I must write and not spend my time trying to market and advertise...which I know nothing about. There's nothing those sharks would love more than to have me bound, gagged, and away from a keyboard.
The real trick to accomplishing my goal is to write the facts and expose the truth in a way that doesn't overwhelm the reader. I also have to keep myself out of jail by not compromising classified information. I honestly believe that you will be pleased with how I have accomplished both, and intend to continue doing so.
I invite you to read the comments about "Retrieved," download the FREE Chapter 1, then of course purchase the book. Once you do, I guarantee you will want "Stolen Lives." Also, feel free to download that FREE Chapter One also.
Your support and encouragement enables me to stay at the keyboard where I belong. If you have children, you would especially benefit by helping me to do this.
