Alan L Moss is a unique and emerging voice in the thriller genre. His writing draws upon Ph. D. research capabilities and many years in Washington D.C. as a federal Chief Economist, Congressional Fellow in the U.S. Senate, and Adjunct Instructor at the University of Virginia's Northern Virginia Center. In 2002, he put his government career aside and moved to the Jersey Shore to pursue his writing.
His published novels spin sophisticated tales of conspiracy, love, sex, revenge, and subterfuge. After years of politics and bureaucracy, Alan has found the freedom of writing fiction an intoxicating and satisfying calling.
The Samoa Seduction takes advantage of Alan’s time in American Samoa administering the minimum wage hearings fictitiously portrayed in the novel. His insider knowledge of Washington politics, how policies may be distorted to support powerful interests is clearly demonstrated in the web of betrayals that drive the story forward. His personal familiarity with the Samoan people and the beautiful landscape of the Island of Tutuila provide a fascinating backdrop to the story’s telling.
Alan’s strong thriller competencies are revealed in the protagonist’s journey fighting to raise Samoa’s poverty wages, yielding to a beautiful Samoan seductress, paying a high price for his infidelity, and then seeking revenge for the damage done by returning to the South Pacific to punish those responsible.
Alan’s recent work on The Insidious Deception Saga chronicles how a pre-med student and brilliant college professor become entangled in conspiracies hatched by al Qaeda and a ruthless CEO. The two resulting novels include: Insidious Deception (Whiskey Creek Press 2013), which deals with the market for rare earth minerals and Middle East conflict and resolution during widespread Arab demonstrations; and the sequel, Surviving the Endgame (Whiskey Creek Press 2014), in which a presidential election becomes a deadly contest between international conspirators and those seeking their destruction.
Alan’s non-fiction offerings include Selling-Out America’s Democracy (Praeger 2008) and Employment Opportunity (Prentice-Hall 2000).

In The Samoa Seduction by author Alan L. Moss, readers gain entry into the highly secretive world of the black market trade for a drug that, even though it is illegal and may be dangerous, many are desperate to get their hands on - a cure for juvenile diabetes. The story follows our protagonist, Michael Bloom, a government employee who goes to American Samoa to attempt to fight for higher minimum wages, but ends up as the romantic interest of one Stephanie Palaie Moelai, and right in the middle of the conspiracy trading the drug. From that point forward, Michael's life turns into a complete mess. He suffers from a mysterious illness, become a fugitive from the law, and has very few places to turn. With riches at stake, the illegal drug traders are unlikely to change tactics, and readers will have their hearts in their throats to find out if he and Stephanie will make it through this tumult alive.
I very much enjoyed The Samoa Seduction. Author Alan L. Moss has done a great job in creating an exciting roller coaster of an adventure; one that will keep readers turning the pages from start to finish. He is adept at creating characters that his readers will connect with, relate to, root for, and continue to think about long after the book is done. If that isn't a hallmark of a great author, I don't know what is. Any reader who loves a great, thrilling and adventure filled read should definitely pick up The Samoa Seduction. I recommend this book, and will also look forward to seeing what the talented author, Alan L. Moss, has in store for his readers next!
