We started chatting by email and soon discovered a shared love of writing and spiritual / real-world exploration.

Jeff was born in the U.K. In 1924 and spent his working life in Electronics. Although he didn’t start writing until after his retirement, he has since won several South African writing awards, wrote a newspaper column for six years running, and never let a day go by without writing something.
