Keith Moore is a writer, certified Life Coach, and criminal justice advocate based in Prosper, Texas.
His debut book, The Freedom Drug: What Nobody Tells You About Coming Home, is a narrative nonfiction memoir and practical guide that names — for the first time — the neurological force driving reentry failure for people who have served long sentences. Drawing on twenty-four years of incarceration in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, a Life Coach certification earned inside the Wynne Unit, and years of teaching Cognitive Behavioral Therapy curriculum to incarcerated men, Moore identifies the freedom drug — the dopamine flood triggered by sudden liberation after long confinement — as one of the most underaddressed factors in reentry failure in America. The book moves from memoir to neuroscience to a practical manual for returning citizens, their families, and the reentry professionals who serve them. The Freedom Drug is currently being submitted to literary agents for traditional publication.
Moore holds an active TDCJ volunteer certification and has returned to four correctional facilities since his release to speak to men preparing for reentry. He is a graduate of Bridges to Life and is joining the Kolbe Center Prison Ministry. He lives in Prosper, Texas with his wife Kathy and son Max.
He is currently at work on his second book — a work of Christian Historical Fiction.
