Home Invasion: Patti Abbott: Amazon.com: Kindle Store: HOME INVASION is a novel in stories that examines a dysfunctional family across fifty years.

The sins vary in gravity, but each is the result of bad decisions, misplaced values, and deplorable parenting. Each story is set in a slightly different year, with a somewhat different cast of characters, moving chronologically yet circularly in theme.

In Earthquake Weather a natural disaster shakes a city and an industry to their cores, revealing new layers of deceit, desire, and deadly aggression.

Years of frustrating career moves have yielded little progress and Mark now finds himself in a dead end job as a “creative executive” for the loathsome producer, Dexter Morton at Prescient Pictures, the hottest new production company in town. A job like that could lead to big things—but Dexter Morton has no interest in promoting Mark’s ambitions. Then a major earthquake rocks Los Angeles and all deals are off. And when Mark finds a body floating in Dexter’s pool he goes from D-Boy to murder suspect before he can say “three picture deal”.
