Death on Disappointment Mountain

When death shakes your world, who will you trust?

Readers are comparing this book to the writing of William Kent Krueger and CJ Box. One described it as “an intricate tale of adventure and mystery set in the beauty of the wilderness in northern Minnesota.”

Hi, I’m Jeff.

So glad you’re here! A little about me:

I’ve been playing with words all my life. At heart I’m a storyteller, and I love writing books. Much of my inspiration flows from the wild areas of northern Minnesota.

Some of my books are non-fiction. I served as a pastor for 30 years, and I still love helping people connect with God. Others are fiction stories about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. I really enjoy writing novels these days. You can find both my fiction and non-fiction on this site.

I’ve lived elsewhere and traveled a bunch, but I always came back to Minnesota, where I was born and raised. I love it here. My wife and I live on a small farm with two horses, a white cat, and a black dog.

I hope you enjoy my books. Thanks for reading.
