His most recent success is a story in a new anthology The New Wave of Speculative Fiction: The What If Factor, Ł10, published by Crowswing Books. With its strong contemporary line-up and international flavour the book's editor, Sean Wright, feels that the stories he has chosen 'reflect the current demand for exciting writers prepared to break barriers and see this and other worlds with a fresh eye'.

Jeff also had a story in The Elastic Book of Numbers, Ł6, edited by Allen Ashley, Elastic Press 'My stories tend to be slipstream fiction, horror or comedy,' says Jeff who has also had six stories accepted by small press magazines such as Writer's Muse, Fusing Horizons and Focus.

He adds: 'I also have my novel with a literary agent, and have written non-fiction articles for Wormwood magazine.'
