About the author

Armed with little more than a lifted eyebrow and a sarcastic quip, Portland-based author Jeff Monday wanders the space between what you didn't say and what you sorta meant. He scribbles your tall tales and fevered dreams down on the backs of crumpled cocktail napkins, stuffing them in the pockets of his mind where they hide until stumbled upon some random Thursday afternoon.
Jeff has worn many hats over the years. He's worked in zoos and gay clubs (and yes, that's redundant.) He fondly recalls years of running a music store and will gladly tell you about that time he slid down a glacier or jumped out of a plane or visited the Shire. He is proud of possessing a B.S. in journalism because he can legally make up words on a whim.
Jeff recently completed the Story King Chronicles. This trilogy was 5 years in the making. It's a story about stories. We all make decisions and choices every day based off of the lessons we learned in the stories told to us by family and friends. Some are scary, some are funny. Some feel like our favorite blanket and some are colder than the edge of space. But they are a part of us. We are the stories we tell.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2020Format: KindleIn a futuristic but flawed world, discrimination born from fear and jealousy is everywhere. Hushed slurs, outright lies, injustice - the fight for equality is taken to the streets where, even there, injustice prevails.
Author Jeff Monday paints a realistic, vivid world filled with believable characters and, sadly, situations. His understanding of human nature is evident as he sometimes poetically describes life for both the Born and the Made.
This story pulled me in with the first paragraph and still hasn't let me go. I find myself thinking about it a week after reading it. I would highly recommend this book to everyone! It's topic is current and relevant for today's world.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018Format: PaperbackThe born and the made was not what I expected. I jumped in without reading the back of the book or any other details other than the title and the Mech Born button on the cover. So I was surprised when there were no giant robot fighting machine's in the book. That being said it is a very good, sometimes too believable story, that is easy to identify with. If he wants five stars next time he needs to throw in one huge fighting machine. But seriously, I vary much enjoyed the book.
