Background
Information
|
|
Jeff has had an interest in fiction since young adulthood, always purchasing the latest Stephen King creation the moment it hit the shelves. He yearned to study the craft, yet personal and professional obligations curtailed such activities. Raising three children and advancing through the ranks in the Information Technology world left sparse time for artistic endeavors. However, he always knew that his future would include writing. Since his children have grown to a reasonably independent age, he has been able to study creative writing. Jeff is currently an Information Systems Manager for a major Insurance/Financial corporation. He resides in northwest New Jersey with his two sons, and on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with his lovely wife.
