Crime and Punishment, Real and Imagined
Episode description
Jacob Moon spent 28 years as a corrections officer in one of Florida's huge county jails. Much of that time was spent supervising psychiatric inmates. So, it's not surprising that the villain of his latest novel, Letter 26, is a psychopathic serial killer who augments kidnapping and murder with mortuary skills.
Jake's love of writing came early in life and began with short stories about all kinds of subjects, some of which were published. Today, he is enjoying the freedom to write novels and has three to his name. Letter 26 is an engrossing crime story that just one a Maxy Award for suspense/horror, a contest for self-published authors named for a little girl who died of the rare congenital disease Lissencephaly.
Jake and I talk about writing, inspiration and mental illness in the prison system in this episode of Type. Tune. Tint.
