Читать книгу Legacy - Jeff Edwards - Страница 3

Jeff Edwards joined the Citizen’s Military Forces – now the Military Reserve – at the age of eighteen and two years later was selected for National Service, serving as a keyboard operator in the Signal Corps in Melbourne and Canberra.

He spent his early civilian working life as a public servant, honing his people skills in the accounts department of the Sydney County Council.

Jeff became a commercial agent/private investigator in 1991, supplying legal practitioner clients with the day to day ‘footwork’ they require. His first company, based in the Penrith area of Sydney, is now run by his wife, Lyn, while Jeff operates a second company with a more diverse base of clients.

Much of the work is routine but Jeff says it can become ‘interesting’ without warning and the couple’s people skills are often put to the test.

A lifelong resident of western Sydney, Jeff and Lyn moved to Penrith with their first child nearly thirty years ago and the entire family has since developed strong ties with the local community.

As an escape from the demands of work Jeff pursues his other interests, which include photography and gardening.

As an avid reader of all forms of fiction, as well as history, he has an extensive collection of books on Australian and ancient history.

Legacy, Jeff’s second novel, continues the saga of Jade Green that began in Watching.

The characters in that novel simply refused to live happily ever after and I was glad to accede to their wishes.
