This is the official website for Jeff Bond, an American writer of popular fiction.

Now available: The Begonia Killer, the latest entry in Jeff’s critically acclaimed action-adventure series.

Kirkus Reviews (starred): “An entertaining private-eye yarn … nerve-wracking scenes … raucous humor … (Bond) tells the story with his usual well-paced plotting, sharply etched characters, and atmospheric prose.”

Books one and two,  Anarchy of the Mice and Dear Durwood, were named to Kirkus Reviews’ Best Indie Books of 2020.  Kirkus on Anarchy: “raucously entertaining…crackerjack action scenes…vividly evocative prose…Bond’s writing is well observed and engrossing in a range of registers.” And on Dear Durwood: “An entertaining, richly imagined action yarn with intellectual bite … Bond’s tale features his usual lean, laconic, and evocative prose and mixes vivid character development with gripping procedural and fight scenes … an energetic page-turner with intriguing social commentary.”

More information, including short adventures and snippets of daily life from the protagonists, can be found at the Third Chance website.

Jeff’s previous novel, The Pinebox Vendetta, received a gold medal (top prize) in the 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards. Midwest Book Review called it “a literary masterpiece…impossible to put down.” IndieReader proclaimed, “Lyrical prose, tight pacing, and memorable characters elevate THE PINEBOX VENDETTA into a top-tier thriller.”

Other books include The Winner Maker, which Kirkus judged “thrilling…an exhilarating and emotionally astute  mystery,” and Blackquest 40, which received IndieReader ‘s highest 5-star rating: “Bond weaves an entertaining story filled with deceit, robots, and tech entrepreneurs that all combine to give the reader a reason to flip pages furiously.”
