Patrick Guy Daniels spent 31 of his 41 years in Catholic education teaching theology, with coursework on human rights and Middle Eastern conflict that grounds the moral logic of his fiction. For 35 of those years he also coached volleyball, compiling 634 wins and contributed to 9 state championships.

He carried that career into two bodies of work. Coach the Storm, his two-volume coaching library, teaches the discipline behind a winning record: what a team has to do, day after day, to build one. Book II even carries a section titled “The Record.” The Girl With Two Names asks what happens when a record becomes a weapon instead of a trophy.

That five-book intelligence thriller series, published by Intellect Publishing LLC, follows Sam Williams. Raised by a retired Navy SEAL after surviving a bombing in Iraq as a child, she learns at eighteen that she was born Hêvî Dilvin, a name carried by a Kurdish family she never knew she had lost. Across The Locket, Protocol, Hêvî, AZAD, and Khalid, Sam builds a case against the man who ordered the attack, using the same paper trail he spent eighteen years trying to erase.

Daniels writes the series for his children: a name, a record, a piece of himself that carries forward past his own lifetime. He lives in Mill Valley, California.
