Fred Moody

Fred Moody was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, save for four years spent in California, at Catholic seminaries, during the 1960s, and six years spent working with suppressed Russian writers in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the 1970s. He has written extensively about the life and mind of the Northwesterner, about software and other technology startups, and about the troubled psychology of Catholicism. His memoir, "Unspeakable Joy," studies the root causes of the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandal. His most recent memoir, available in the Kindle Vella Store, is “Barfly on the Wall”—a chronicle of his three-year stint, after retirement, as a Seattle bartender.
