Phoenix Writers Club Author Profile

Jeffrey Callan

Historian

Jeff Callan is a novelist and aspiring archer who finds joy in a juicy conspiracy. A creative talent of many hats, from Fedora to tinfoil, his works include espionage, science fiction, horror, non-fiction (just one), and a litany of horror and pet-related Haiku. He resides in Phoenix with his children and a cabal of suspicious-looking pets.

His first novel, co-written with Wes Miller, The Benefactors: Gold Factor is available at major booksellers. Set in the same world of intrigue, he is working to release The Intrigants book series. The first book in the series, The Cleaner, is currently being adapted and marketed for streaming television and podcasting in conjunction with Voyage Media in Los Angeles.

Jeff’s latest book, with Wesley Miller, is called “The Cleaner,” and it can be preordered at TheIntrigants.com.

Based on the book and in conjunction with Voyage Media, an 8- episode dramatic podcast is available on Apple, Spotify, iHeart, or wherever you get your podcast. A “cleaner” who eliminates targets for a clandestine government agency, is tasked with taking out the one target he can’t eliminate… the daughter he never knew he had.

The Benefactors: Gold Factor

Present day:

Sterling Morris reaches across the aisle to select Kaki Smithson as his Presidential running mate, uniting a polarized nation. But when an assassin's bullet leaves the new President critically wounded in New Orleans' Charity Hospital, tenacious journalist Ronnie Tamlin set her sights on a conspiracy and gives it a name: The BENEFACTORS - an organization that may have orchestrated Kaki's rise to power and Sterling's fall - and the consequences may prove fatal.

Flashback to 1945:

WWII is coming to a close. The Nazis and the Japanese have looted their empires and are secreting vast treasure. Leading the ranks of the OSS, three brazen agents, Herbert Mannington, Anthony Laperose, and Charles Constantine aid the U.S. to victory and in doing so, commandeer unimaginable wealth. As the world rebuilds, these well-intentioned renegades remain determined to establish a new world order while the pull of unfettered power begins to erode their sense of direction.

The Gold Factor, the first in the series and based on real events, is a twisting tale of intrigue that follows the rise of The BENEFACTORS, the legacy of a man who would see them stopped dead in their tracks, and the lives of four women entangled in a plot to assassinate a modern-day President.
