Levin, Jeffrey Jay: - Jeffrey Jay Levin was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. He currently resides in Cottonwood, Arizona, with his wife of so many years you wouldn't believe it if they told you. He makes his living as a commercial real estate attorney but, like so many in his chosen profession, has always been a frustrated writer. In his spare time, when not being totally consumed by his writing, he is rebuilding a 1976 Corvette Sting Ray and chasing his grandchildren around.
