Jeffrey Whittam

Jeffrey was born in Lancashire, England in 1947.

With his parents, on a cold, wet Thursday in 1956, he boarded RMS Carnarvon Castle - Africa bound.

His formative years in Southern Rhodesia were spent fishing, hunting and exploring the wilderness. Still in his early twenties, Jeffrey became a prospector of note and sold his first gold claims in 1973. For the best part of the bush war, he fought with the Rhodesia Regiment's 10th Battalion.

Jeffrey now lives in the wilder reaches of Lancashire's fell country with his wife, children and 3 dogs. His considerable experience and natural flair for storytelling is reflected in his writing. He now writes full time and Sons of Africa is his first novel. The sequel, Empress Gold has just been released on Kobo, Amazon Kindle and iBooks.
