Kevin Moore
Meet Kevin Moore, the imaginative storyteller behind Jack Kelly's captivating world and extraordinary paranormal adventures. His debut novel, The Book of Souls, earned praises as an Amazon Editors' pick for Best Science Fiction and Fantasy and introduced readers to Kelly's mesmerizing abilities. Building on this success, Moore delved deeper into the supernatural realm with "The Book of Demons," a thrilling blend of magic and suspense—think Harry Potter meets The Exorcist. Brace yourselves for the next chapter in the Jack Kelly saga. "Pandora's Box and The Lost Boys" promises to unleash an even more intense level of spine-tingling drama in early 2025.
But Moore's literary talents are not confined to the paranormal. -

I write stories about buried memories, unreliable narrators, and small towns full of secrets. My debut novel follows Sophia Whitaker, who wakes up sleepwalking over her classmate’s buried body with no memory of how she got there. It’s a book about memory, silence, and the dangerous things we choose not to say.
When I’m not writing, I work in data analytics (which is really just another way of solving puzzles). I’m also a big fan of late-night thriller binges, indie bookstores, and long walks with my husband and dogs, Peaches & Cece.
