Jeff Whipple is an award-winning artist and writer. He is based in Jacksonville, Florida.

Jeff Whipple new novel, "Cherub Trouble" is a humorous story about a young artist caught in a series of art calamities in an ultra-rich Florida coastal community. Many aspects of the story are based on Jeff Whipple's actual experiences. The peculiarities and difficulties of an artist’s life unfold in Whipple’s droll novel… Sharp, wickedly humorous characterizations, such as “She had a face-lift that made her look like an astronaut during a launch,” coupled with absurd Florida-centric situations, are reminiscent of the works of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey. A rollicking, satirical take on fine art and the Sunshine State. — Kirkus Reviews It's available on Amazon for $20. CLICK HERE FOR THE LINK TO AMAZON BOOKS
