My Dad is a Hitman: A Misguided Dream of Wealth and Adventure
Young adult readers need heroes; they need stories with relatable characters.
Phoenix, AZ — March 11, 2022, Fat Cat Publishing House is proud to offer its debut work from local Arizona author B.C. Hix: My Dad is a Hitman: A Misguided Dream of Wealth and Adventure, a highly acclaimed young adult thriller whose characters show readers how to deal with life's challenges from a non-threatening, safe, and neutral distance.

In the genre most open to experimentation and diversification, young adult fiction holds a great appeal to writers such as local Phoenix debut author B. C. Hix, who grasps the crucial emotions of being a teen...the things, ideas, or issues most relevant to them. We live in a world rife with confusion and uncertainty, and perhaps, now, more than ever, literature can play witness to teens' fear, pain, and triumph. He makes the universal themes of father/son relationships and the loss of innocence seem incredibly personal to ensure this story is one that readers will never forget.

Whether you're young or old, an avid adventure reader, or a couch potato, this book has something for everyone. The story takes readers through a plot where someone's being played, and it is Luke Wimm's dad in My Dad is a Hitman, the new young adult thriller.

Hix tells the story in the first person by fourteen-year-old Luke; the novel takes hold and doesn't let go until the surprise ending. Readers are challenged to determine whether Luke is reliable as a narrator or whether his dad, Larry, is some unreliable, slightly misguided clown whose antics as a hitman exasperate his son. This espionage thriller for young adult readers sparks the thought, Think Weekend at Bernie's meets James Bond at Spy School, which makes it too good to put down!

About the Author

Debut author B. C. HIX opens his writing career by crafting engaging stories for young adult readers, the first of which is My Father is a Hitman. This well-rounded author has been influenced by a ranching background that taught hard work and perseverance, a family that fostered a love for creativity and learning, a love of the outdoors, a 20-year career in law enforcement, service to his country during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and a collegiate inspiration to tell a story that no one had ever heard or to describe a world that no one had ever seen. Hix understands that YA novels will always deal with identity, but they can deal with other things at the same time. He believes it is a golden age for young adult fiction and wants to see his books step up on the literary stage as part of a powerful genre…creating role models and leading important conversations.
