Jeff B. White writes because it was his only way to survive. He is an HIV-positive man who survived extreme religious indoctrination, conversion therapy, and childhood trafficking. Jeff fought to find peace and recovery after addiction became part of his life. Through his work, Jeff has found a way to rewrite his survival into sprawling epic fantasy worlds.

His experiences working in LGBTQ+ social justice in the state of Mississippi, and eventually nationwide, have instilled within him a deep understanding of the vital need for inclusive representation of marginalized groups within the fantasy genre. His career as an advocate has given him a seasoned voice in the world of speculative fiction and informs the authoritative depth of his narratives.

His journey began with the raw and unfiltered truth of Shards of Hope: A Tweaker Witch Memoir. This memoir refuses the sanitized veneer of traditional recovery. It reveals a path paved with harm reduction, queer resilience, and the spiritual reclamation of witchcraft.

That personal history now breathes as the well from which the Kingdom of Evenhere has sprung. Within the pages of Blush Born, A Faded Quest, and Echoes of Foreshadow, the magic system is built upon Jeff’s own journey of healing and grace. Through characters like Jethran Frye and his glittery companion Fable, Jeff explores a world of Gray where living authentically and accepting your true colors are acts of defiance. His work operates at the intersection of dark fairy tale and psychological allegory, proving that the shards left behind after we have shattered can be polished into magic.

Today, Jeff invites readers into the spectrum of his story through the Find Your Colors podcast. He explores the psychological reality behind the fiction. He remains dedicated to those seeking to color outside the lines of societal demand.
