One reviewer said of When the Moon was White: 'A love poem to the moon... a good story about a dangerous plan, sixties music and science, told in beautiful language.' It is Jeff's first novel since Bachelor Butterflies, which garnered these reviews: 'A strangely compelling narrative' - The Sunday Times; 'An atmosphere of anomie with a dash of hope' - poet John Hegley; 'Very wonderfully written... The characters pulled me into their lives' - novelist Tony Peake. Jeff has had stories and poems published in London, California and South Africa. He is American and has lived in London since 1990 with his South African wife.
