Jack Roney – Real Life Detective

  1. Jack Roney - Real Life Detective Amanda Blackwood presents: The Trauma Survivors 28:37

At first it might sound like something from a 1940’s radio show, but as amazing as that would be, this is even better. Jack spent 33 years as part of the police force in Australia, most recently as a child protection detective. With the encouragement of Family and friends, he retired from the job he loved to pursue the passion he had for writing.  As he says so eloquently in this episode, he couldn’t be a detective and a crime writer at the same time – that would be seen as a conflict of interest. Jack was also a police consultant for the ABC television series “Harrow” and now offers workshops and personal insight into the real world of policing for others interesting in writing crime fiction. His fascinating history includes moments that would cause a weaker person to crumble. He found a way to release Emotions he didn’t know were pent up when he began to tell his story through the eyes of a fallible detective named Jerrod O’Connor. You do NOT want to miss this episode.
