ABOUT

Jeff Martindale is a native of Jackson, Tennessee and a proud graduate of two Southeastern Conference schools. He caught the writing bug while earning an M.B.A. at the University of Georgia in the mid-1990s. He lived with his family in Atlanta before moving back to Tennessee in 2000, where he resides in Collierville with his wife and two sons.

His humorous blog on fatherhood, "Confessions of a Confused Dad", can be found on Wordpress.com or click here to read his blog. It also appears as a regular column in The Collierville Herald. You can read his column archives by clicking here.

Jeff is also the published author of two books. Random Thoughts, Jeff Martindale's skillfully-composed first book, gives us many richly diverse short stories and essays, written in an inspired style with settings and characters that take readers deep into the heart of the South.

His latest book, Going to the Beach, was published in October 2006. It is a wonderfully-illustrated picture book for young readers (ages 2-6).

His other writings have appeared in The Commercial Appeal, Sports Illustrated, USAToday.com, Journal of Legal Aspects of Sport and a variety of smaller literary magazines.
