Jeff Circle is dangerously ambidextrous, reckless with food spices, and usually has leftover assembly parts.
He deployed to Desert Storm as an U.S. Army intelligence analyst, he’s been a police officer, a federal background investigator, and he’s supported U.S. special operation missions as a counterintelligence specialist in various deployed locations. Today, he writes.

Jeff also hosts The Writer’s Dossier podcast and is the creator of The Writer’s Dossier, a fun five-question author interview platform with the biggest and upcoming writers of thrillers, mysteries, crime, and suspense novels. You can read all the author, agent, editor, publicist, and audiobook narrator interviews here. Subscribe below. Or don’t. It’s OK.
His crime thriller anthology, MYOPIC DUPLICITY: Do the Ends Ever Justify the Means is available on Kindle and audiobook from Leonardo Audio.

Podcasts are fun! Jeff joins them to talk about anything related to writing, travel, film, TV, law enforcement, and the military. His vast global travel and varied background of experiences always provide something interesting and fun to draw from. He’s known for “bringing lots of energy” to the show from his basement speakeasy podcast studio. Here’s a sampling.


The Writer’s Dossier Podcast is all here!


Casablanca vs To Have and Have Not? Let’s talk about that. This episode of The Suit Up podcast was a blast! My friend Terrance Layhew and I discuss my long-held argument that To Have and Have Not is a better film than Casablanca.

Bianca Vandenbos from Book Notions was kind enough to interview me for what’s going on at The Dossier. Her questions are thoughtful and were a lot of fun. Check out all the great work she’s doing at Book Notions.
In one of the best book events I’ve ever seen, the Carmel Clay Public Library in Carmel, Indiana invited me to moderate a thriller panel with (L-R) Bruce Borgos, Claire Isenthal, I.S. Berry, A.J. Chambers, and J.M. Adams. This was an amazing experience, and I look forward to going back to Carmel any chance I get.


I was so excited to talk with the wonderful Tracey Devlyn for her interview series with The Big Thrill and The International Thriller Writers Association. Tracey is a great interviewer! Find out some of the inside tips she got out of me about The Writer’s Dossier and promotions.
USA Today bestselling author Tracey Devlyn wanted to be the next Dian Fossey and explore the wilds of Africa, but that was before she met chemistry and calculus. With an enthusiasm for research that translates into creative (and disturbing) plot twists for her characters to navigate, it’s no surprise that her suspense-laden stories excite her readers and offer a glimpse of the nefarious nature lurking behind her smile. Despite the thrilling, emotional ride she gives her readers, Tracey enjoys a laid back, fleece and boots lifestyle with her husband and rescue dogs at her home in the mountains of North Carolina. Visit Tracey at TraceyDevlyn.com, on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
