Author Tim Gilmore, Founder and Director Emeritus of the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival, will read from his newest book, Murder Capital: 8 Stories 1890s-1980s in the documentary film of JaxbyJax VII being produced by Brad Kuhn & Associates, LLC .

Equally fascinated by Jacksonville’s legacy of light and goodness, Gilmore often explores the city’s dark underbelly and the people who have inhabited it. Tune in to one of the watch parties to hear one of 8 stories that will have you checking under the bed before you go to sleep.

From 2014-2017, Gilmore and his wife, Professor Jo Carlisle, directed JaxbyJax I-IV, before asking Brad and Darlyn Kuhn to take the reins in 2018.

JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival VII is a celebration of Jacksonville Writers Writing Jacksonville. Generous sponsors include Baptist Health, Chamblins Uptown & Bookmine, Delegal & Poindexter, PA; Scribbles, and Brad Kuhn & Associates, LLC.
