About the author
Jeff Dwyer is the author of an 10-book series of non-fiction guides for ghost hunters published by Pelican Publishers of Gretna, LA. He has authored eighteen articles for medical journals, chapters for two textbooks, three novels, one hundred and fifty songs, and two screenplays for television.
Born in the heart of the San Francisco Bay area, Jeff spent his early years in the small island community of Alameda where he developed a love for sailing, fishing, and local history and a fascination with the ships and airplanes of the nearby naval air station.
In college, Jeff became an All-American swimmer while pursuing his interests in the medical sciences in which he earned a bachelor's degree, two Master of Science degrees, and a Ph. D. This education landed him jobs at prestigious institutions, among them Duke University and the University of Southern California. Currently, Jeff works as a clinical specialist in cardiology.
Inspiration for Jeff's writing projects comes from his personal experience and keen sensitivity to the emotional and spiritual aspects of issues facing people today. His most recent novel, Passages Home, takes readers into the heart and mind of a veteran of the war in Iraq. The story explores spiritual and emotional wounds known as post-traumatic stress disorder, and a process of healing discovered in the vineyards, forests, beaches, and meadows surrounding the northern California town of Mendocino.
