About the books:
Jack has researched, written and self-published many titles under the Ghost Trails, Murder Trails and Boggo Road Gaol Series. He has also worked with other authors whose expertise and knowledge has become part of these series.

About the author:
Jack Sim was born and grew up in Brisbane in the late 20th century and from an early age was fascinated with “dark history” – accidents, tragedies, war, mysteries, ghosts and hauntings, crime, murder, prisons and asylums. He collects unusual aspects of the past – and owns a vintage 1939 Studebaker President hearse.

Through Historic Australia Jack undertakes history, cemetery, ghost and crime tours & experiences. Jack started Brisbane Ghost Tours in 1998, and for 10 years he operated Boggo Road Gaol (Jail) on behalf of the Queensland State Government.

Passionate about promoting Australian history and heritage he appears regularly on tours, podcasts, radio – ABC, 4BC, River 949 & West Bremer radio, TV, guest-speaking and library-talks. Jack has been published in journals, magazines, newspapers and blogs, and narrated and appeared in national and international documentaries and short films.
