Jeffery Viles is a former journalist and freelance writer who spent the last four decades as a serial entrepreneur. He founded, grew, and sold half a dozen different, successful businesses during those years. They covered a wide range: petroleum distribution, residential development and construction, a French bakery café, hotel ownership and commercial real estate development. His debut novel, The Sasquatch Murder (A Love Story), earned enthusiastic reviews and was a national finalist in two separate best-novel contests. He lives and works in Columbia, Missouri, where his partner, Rebekah, acts as his first responder and tolerates his habit of reading work aloud to test its rhythm. See less
