Humour

Jeff Martin was born in 1980. Jeff Martin made millions on the stock market. Jeff Martin lost millions on the stock market. Jeff Martin stopped a Chinese tank at Tiananmen Square. Jeff Martin managed Michael Dukakis's 1988 presidential campaign. Jeff Martin co-wrote Aliens 2- More Aliens with James Cameron. Jeff Martin had a torrid and brief creative relationship with Disney's animation department. Jeff Martin disguised himself as a midget, joined NASA, and became the first-ever child in space, all in tribute to the Challenger space shuttle tragedy.

Such is only a sample of the amazing life of Jeff Martin, a modern-day renaissance man/child, adept at everything, and uniquely attuned to the goings-on of our evolving planet. He is equal parts Doogie Howser and Forest Gump as likely to break an age barrier as to coincidentally find himself in the trenches of history.

Get ready for a groundbreaking memoir overflowing with action, history, social commentary, and unchecked facts. Along the way, there will be love, loss, cool drawings from Truth Serum cartoonist Jon Adams, and some more unchecked facts. And as a free promotion, we're offering a money-back guarantee that this book will not disgrace Oprah.
