Jeff Keene II
Author
Jeff Keene II holds degrees in biology, chemistry, and linguistics. His writing path began when his high school teacher assigned him the task of creating an original screenplay. Twenty-five years later, that screenplay was published as a short story in a Long Island newsletter. But the writing bug really began when developing a textual criticism about a New Testament story in a master’s level seminary course in 2012. Since then, Jeff has had the undying urge to write about unnamed characters in the Bible who’ve met Jesus.
He has served as a volunteer firefighter where he suffered a line-of-duty injury resulting in the loss of his right foot below- the-knee, worked on a NOAA research vessel for 17-days at sea, and even applied to the NASA Teacher in Space program. He currently serves as a public school teacher.
Jeff lives with his wife, Andria, in Central Florida. They have two adult children.

When the Other Boot Drops
Devotional
Firefighters remember their initial training—how in every class or drill the instructors emphasized the dangers. Somehow, the risks seemed worth it then. After all, firefighters help people caught in bad situations. Jeff Keene II heard those warnings and still answered the call, but early in his career he suffered a terrible injury. In When the Other Boot Drops, he gives us an honest account of the emotional and mental trauma that followed. This is a solid, comfort-filled reference for victims of trauma (and their family members and friends, as well).

She was an adultress.
Pericope
a novel of a demoniac

“What is wrong with me? Am I going mad?”
The voice answered him. “Yes, you are.”
