True Crime Author Details His Own Psychological Disorders
True crime author Jack Swint has written four cold-case murder books in the “Who Killed” murder series by Rooftop Publishing Company. Swint details unsolved murders across the country in hopes that resurrecting these cases will bring someone forward with new information to help police. To date, books have been published in Cleveland Ohio, Pittsburgh PA, Jacksonville FL and Savannah GA. With plans to publish in more cities across the country.

When not writing about cold-case murders, Swint spends his time exposing his own life’s mistakes in both the public and in promoting his true life story “Creative Impulse…True Memoirs of a Terrible Son.” Being diagnosed in 1997 with a personality disorder and impulsive behavior answered questions into his destructive lifestyle that began at the age of ten years old, and continued up until he was forty-three and in federal prison for counterfeiting. That jail sentence tops off a long history of non-violent crimes that caused havoc in not only his life, but also to everyone else around him.

Spending the last ten years speaking out to families, doctors, courts and anyone else who will listen, Swint uses his own detailed past in hopes that other’s will benefit from his lifetime of impulsively driven bad decisions and legal mistakes. “I can not go back and change all of the things I did wrong. Hopefully, someone can learn from my behavior. Swints book is well documented with corroborating evidence to back up his true-life story that he claims as “brutally honest.”

75% of all book profits are being donated to "Camp Sunshine" retreat in Casco, Maine for kids with life threatening illnesses and their families.

1. How interesting -
I've just read the page on the author's site you linked to, but I'm intrigued enough to get the book. I'm sure it will be eye-opening and heartbreaking and teach me a lot.

Thanks for posting this!

2. Thanks
Thanks for replying...

His book is actually a very "brutally honest" roller coaster ride. You can't imagine the high profile people he has crossed paths with and things that happened.

There is actually a website address that offers a comp PDF copy for anyone who can read a book that way.

Let us know your thoughts if you do get to read it.

Thanks

3. These books sound interesting.
Maybe a TV Network will pick up on them and do a series.
