Novelist M.W. Moore is a former four-time NCAA All-American track and field star who attended Mississippi State University studying Industrial Technology.

In his glory days, he competed against or shared the spotlight with legendary Olympians Carl Lewis, Edwin Moses and Florence Griffith-Joyner.

The fact-based “For What I Hate I Do” is the first in a trilogy, which explores the turbulent life of a handsome, ambitious, young athletic Texan with tremendous potential but whose dreams are compromised for a life of living on the edge.

The gamble that almost cost this one-time professional model his life and put him at risk of being ridiculed, rejected and vilified, included crack cocaine addiction, promiscuity and marriage infidelity, sexual predatory behavior, and six bank robberies in the Houston area.

Moore is the third of five children and is a native of Houston, Texas, where he still resides.

His second book is slated for release in 2007.

A life that should have been a glorious path toward Olympic gold is tarnished by silver handcuffs as former NCAA track champion and model Miguel Morris ends up on the wrong side of the law as a serial bank robber in the fact-based novel “For What I Hate I Do.”

Before this, however, endorsements and college were marred by unsavory acquaintances.

Miguel is smitten by pro-bound NFL friend Butch Webber. He later meets Patrick, who recruits him to become a sexual predator by using drugs to entice “homo-thugs” from mostly “straight” Houston nightclubs. Promising tennis athlete Curtis introduces Miguel to crack.

Ultimately, his erratic behavior ruins his marriage to fellow rising track star Tish, who uses him to gain U.S. citizenship. Exotic dancing intensifies his hell on earth. Feeling betrayed by men, Miguel targets hoodlums and male prostitutes with vengeance. Rescue comes when he meets married pharmacist Lazlo, who’s attractive and clean-cut. But Miguel rebuffs him because he prefers thugs.

A single biblical verse in Romans captures Miguel’s struggles: “For What I Hate I Do,” which paraphrased means, “I really want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do the very thing I hate.”
