Notes From The Island
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
​
​
Garth Jeffries first visited Nantucket as a toddler in the 1960s, and it was love at first sight. After renting for a few seasons, Garth's parents purchased a small cottage in the early 1970s. Far from fancy, it had no heat or A/C, featured exposed 2x4s, and was sitting on concrete blocks. It was a time when Nantucket was a simpler, humbler place.
Garth spent many youthful summers on the island working in construction or flipping burgers on Steamboat Wharf. Many of the experiences you'll see with his characters are based on Garth's time on the island, as well as his falling in love with a girl from the Midwest.
After a thirty-year career in marketing, Garth made the jump to writing with a focus on Nantucket thrillers with one simple goal. Craft a fun and entertaining story while leaving the reader with warm memories of the island long after the final page.
Thankfully, over fifty years later, Garth's family still enjoys their simple Nantucket cottage - still without heat or A/C - and he tries to spend as much time as possible there. When not on the island, Garth can be found in historic Missouri wine country with his wife of over thirty-five years and an extremely needy 19th-century stone cottage.
