DEBUT NOVEL: REPUBLIC DAY
Welcome to the Republic — where the harshest laws in the world exist, particularly the ones on drug trafficking and substance-abuse… where ironically a genius emerges and creates what could well be the most powerful mind expanding substance the world has ever known. His friend must decide whether to go along with his insane ambitions to profit from his “little green pills” or cower in the safety of his empty life. Either way, this new miracle drug will not wait as it alters the life and mentality of every citizen it touches, challenging and changing everything that everyone holds dear — a drug that could take them all to powerful new heights — or destroy them altogether.
Coming soon.

Welcome to JefTan.com
It’s here!
More or less all of my work that I’m willing to share with the world right up to now. Here you’ll find stuff that I’ve dug up from the archives and decided they be given a new lease of exposure. You’ll also find the current stuff. What you won’t find are work where I’ve not played a creative role in. It’s taken months of development, testing and constant buggering of my mate Missy Lee Wong (web designer extraordinaire) from Little Irrepressible Wonton who’s done such a clever job of helping design a site that functions as a blog as well!
There are areas where more work has yet to be done like finding the extensive names of folks that I’ve had the immense pleasure of working with but missed out (names, correct spelling of them and contact links). Please accept my apologies and email me so that I can update them.
For those of you who waited, thank you for your patience.
My thanks as always (and hopefully not too often) are long, long overdue.
