Jesse Horn is an American writer and illustrator, best known for his work with Brian Dunning and for illustrating The Secret of the Gypsy Queen, a children's book adapted from the 300th episode of Dunning's Skeptoid podcast.[2][1]

Work

[edit]

According to an article by the White Mountain Independent, "Horn possesses wonderful writing skills"[3] and, in addition to his artwork, is "a bass player in a local band."

According to his website,[4] he was the executive editor for the Mogollon Connection Newspaper for many years and now works as a freelance writer for the Flagstaff Business News.[5] His illustrations can also be found in the macabre children's magazine Underneath the Juniper Tree.[6]

Horn has interviewed many notable people and has published several non-fiction books based upon several series that have appeared in the Mogollon Connection and the Oddities magazine. One of these books was about the events surrounding the Rape of Nanking, and is listed as a recommended reading by the Chinese News Digest.[7]

His work can also be seen in the Journal of Emergency Medical Services.[8]

Personal life

[edit]

According to an article in the Mogollon Rim News, "Jesse was born in Ojai, California to parents James and Dorothy Horn. During his childhood, Jesse's family moved every couple years due to his father's job with the Park Service. They lived in places such as the Rim of the Grand Canyon and Yosemite. According to the Journal of Emergency Medical Services, Horn is a firefighter and paramedic reserve for the Heber-Overgaard and Arizona Fire Department and sits on the White Mountain Child Abuse Prevention Council.[9][10] In 2016, it was announced on the Skeptoid website that Horn was diagnosed with Glioblastoma grade 4, a deadly brain cancer.[1] Author Catherine Ryan Hyde shared via Facebook that a GoFundMe account was set up in Horn's name to help him and his family with the medical expenses.[11] Artist Gris Grimly wrote on his Facebook page about Horn's cancer, stating "Cancer has impacted yet another life. I met Jesse Horn through my art. He is a creative, good-hearted individual, father and husband. And now he and his family ask for help. There are many people in the world who need financial assistance, and as an individual you can't help everyone. As a new family man myself, I feel an emotional string to stories like this."[12]
