Jeff McCoy has worked as a newspaper reporter for years, covering stories across the U.S. and overseas. Those mud and blood assignments had an impact on him. Watching the suffering and death of others made him realize what was important and what was not. 

He has experience as a stockbroker but most of his adult life has been spent behind one camera or another including time in the movie business. Writing scripts, short stories, and novels was something that he did to step out of his high-stress world for a few hours. It was an escape. Writing news articles came easy but required a heavy toll mentally. Sometimes writing a newspaper article about the oppressed would cause some relief to the least, the lost, and the forgotten. Other times it didn’t make one bit of difference.
