Meet Minnesota Author Jacob Moses

NAC 2020 AUTHOR VIRTUAL TOUR

MEET MINNESOTA  AUTHOR JACOB MOSES  

Jacob Moses was born in Houston, Texas but his family moved to central Minnesota during his formative years. Backwoods living left him to his imagination as he spent his time playing in the neighbor-free, wooded environment surrounding his residence. As the influence of scary stories and horror movies flowed freely within his family home, Jacob’s overactive imagination was quietly ruminating on the ideas of the supernatural and the all too real minds of serial killers.

Jacob achieved a bachelor’s degree in psychology and has been working with youth for the last fifteen years. He continues to do so, but has also begun inking the stories that have been swirling in his head for decades. During daylight hours, he works as the Dean of Students in a rural high school. He currently resides in central Minnesota with his wife and four children.

Jacob Moses’ first novel, "Exit Lights", was published late in 2019 and is maintaining a five-star rating on Amazon. 

Synopsis:

Cotter Trespin has been experiencing strange phenomena on the streets of Chicago. Since turning twenty-one a month prior, the spotlights come and go without reason. They seem to shine from a place far beyond the stars, and Cotter quickly realizes that they are lighting up stages that are set for murder. The light goes unseen by others, as does the hoodie-wearing figure who directs these death scenes. Cotter eventually finds himself entwined in police investigations after continually appearing at the site of apparent accidents and suicides. Inevitably, the relationships in his life are being consumed by the mounting turmoil, and perhaps by the alcohol he consumes too. It’s a strange connection with the killer though that sends Cotter reeling, desperate for answers to his life, answers to his existence. Could they lie within the seemingly insane thoughts of the killer and his mystical claims that the people in the spotlights have been marked for death? Or, is it Cotter’s job to stop this killer?

 

His second novel "The Big Bastard" and continuation of the Exit Lights series hit bookshelves on August 25, 2020.

Synopsis:
Following a traumatic event at Devil's Kettle Falls, Dwight Teuful is forced to recount his life history as an initial phase of treatment. He tells stories of a life brimming with the most sinister self-indulgences. The sources of his deepest pleasures make it apparent that his philosophies would bleed through the skin of the most extreme hedonists. Take this ride only if you possess the nerve to delve into the secret life of such a lunatic. Dwight is unmercifully sadistic, unabashedly self-righteous, and unwilling to change his depraved soul. He is The Big Bastard.

The third book in the series is well underway and is expected to be completed late in 2020.
All Moses's books are available through Amazon. 

NAC looks forward to having Jacob participate in our Northwoods Art and Book Festival for the first time in 2021.
