About The Author

A prolific writer, Jeff has authored 16novels, including contemporary, western, children, and science fiction novels, as well as a collection of Christmas short stories. He seeks unique story locations and uses factual sites, people, and events to enhance his fiction. Jeff enjoys writing in five genres. When asked if it is hard to switch back and forth between the genres, he said, "I find it very refreshing except (like a few months ago) when I was working on the edit of my sixth and final Hunt Series western novel, plus being in the middle of writing a contemporary novel, the interviewer asked questions about my Christmas short story collection. That got my head spinning, but normally, by the time I've finished one book, I'm ready to switch genres and work on another." Jeff grew up in the small town of Logan, Ohio, where some of his stories alluded to. Before becoming a full-time novelist, he was a research librarian, a college library director, and a college professor. He lives and writes in Murrieta, California, one hour north of San Diego. His office has three Apple computers, an Amazon Kindle, an Apple iPad, an iPhone, an eclectic collection of funky stuffed animals, a 5,000-book library, and no television.
