Jeff Monday

Armed with little more than a lifted eyebrow and a sarcastic quip, Portland-based author Jeff Monday wanders the space between what you didn't say and what you sorta meant. He scribbles your tall tales and fevered dreams down on the backs of crumpled cocktail napkins, stuffing them in the pockets of his mind where they hide until stumbled upon some random Thursday afternoon.

Jeff has worn many hats over the years. He's worked in zoos and gay clubs (and yes, that's redundant.) He fondly recalls years of running a music store and will gladly tell you about that time he slid down a glacier or jumped out of a plane or visited the Shire. He is proud of possessing a B.S. in journalism because he can legally make up words on a whim.

Jeff recently completed the Story King Chronicles. This trilogy was 5 years in the making. It's a story about stories. We all make decisions and choices every day based off of the lessons we learned in the stories told to us by family and friends. Some are scary, some are funny. Some feel like our favorite blanket and some are colder than the edge of space. But they are a part of us. We are the stories we tell.
