Jeff Redmond is a native of the Cumberland Mountain region in the American state of Tennessee, the setting for his first book, "Incident at Millstone Gap." Jeff has intimate knowledge of the people, the lore, the high mountain trails, stunning vistas and hills and hollows that he depicts in this work. A career in construction provided Jeff the opportunity to live in several locations across the United States, including San Francisco, Phoenix and Las Vegas. Jeff's upcoming book, the second in his "Incident" series, takes place in the American Desert Southwest, taking advantage of the author's intimate knowledge of this region.
