I'm the author of REUNION, a supernatural thriller, Killing the Giants, a political thriller and The Rumblin', a short suspense.

I grew up in Saginaw Michigan, moved to Aurora, Ohio in 78' and finally settled in Central Indiana where I met my wife and graduated from Indiana University. I'm an occasional runner, life long drummer, and household handyman. Over the years, I've done everything from working on an assembly line, installing HVAC units, teaching Sunday school, to running my own...more


If you are wondering if this is a joke, I assure you on my grandmother's grave, it is one-hundred percent the God honest truth - I set fire to my first manuscript.

Here's the deal...

I wrote my first manuscript in 2007. The book was a non-fiction called How to Succeed in the Handyman Business. It was excellent. It covered all details one would need to start and operate a successful handyman/home... read more »

Beatriz Chavarri Hi again Jeff! I just finished Murdoch's eye and I love it! As I always said, your stories are trully cinematographic. I want to vote for Murdoch's eye here in GoodReads but it doesn't have a review like your others books. How we can fix that?

Excellent!!! Glad to hear that.


Beatriz Chavarri 50% read of Reunion, and I'm loving it!


Beatriz Chavarri Hello! A few days ago I read your short story The rumblin', and I loved it! Althought english is not my native language I enjoy it a lot (but the dialogues of the ranger were a little hard to understand for me). The story is pretty awesome, tense and almost cinematographic.

Greetings from a venezuelan new reader of your work!
