J.C.  Moore

About

J.C. Moore has worked as a bartender, IT tech, touring musician, horse farm manager, and for one ill-fated season, ran a restaurant (the health inspector survived). His songs have turned up in TV and film, but these days his stories are more likely to end up in your hands than on your playlist.

He writes thrillers that dig into ordinary lives turned upside down. Secrets From a Serial Killer pulls readers into a small town hiding big secrets. Dead Man’s Payback follows Frank Mallory, a man who discovers that grief and vengeance can be two sides of the same coin.

Moore’s characters are rarely superheroes—they’re people with regrets, bad decisions, and just enough fight left to make things interesting.

He lives in upstate New York, where the roads disappear into woods, the neighbors wave from porches, and story ideas have a habit of following him home.
