ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Garth Jeffries has had a passion for creative writing for as long as he can remember. His first short story, at the age of nine, got a five-star review from his mother! But a career in writing was not initially in the cards for Garth, and he pursued a career in marketing to not only pay the bills but provide an outlet for his creative writing ambitions.
During his thirty-plus year career, he made multiple attempts to kickstart his novel, and despite exploring numerous storylines, life and career were always there to get in the way. But a few years ago Garth found himself “retired” and rather than looking for a new job decided instead to focus on that life-long dream. The result was Garth's first book, STARBUCK, NANTUCKET REDEMPTION, which ultimately became a category bestseller.
That success encouraged Garth to pursue NOT ALL BODIES STAY BURIED, a supernatural thriller that looks at a different, darker side of Nantucket.
He is actively working on his next book, THE NANNY (a working title for now), a psychological thriller involving a loving family and a fiercely ambitious au pair who wants what she can't have. Join the mailing list to stay in touch and be informed when it is released.
