Author
Mysteries, anecdotes and advice
Jeff Gould has spent a lifetime collecting, and sharing stories. It’s why he’s known as America’s Storyteller. His stories are presented in two beautifully illustrated books, I Like That Story, Volumes I and II.
In each book, you’ll find short, memorable stories about ordinary and extraordinary people, along with nuggets of Jeff’s friendly, heartland-style wisdom, reflections and humor.
“Awesome author breaks through! This JJ Gould guy is really making some inroads into the “awesome authors” category! These first two books just fly by and introduce us to a whole new area of the country with fascinating narratives, snappy characters and a pace that leaves us begging for his next book. This is can’t-miss reading, right up there with the best of them!”
I Like That Story
INSIGHT AND INSPIRATION FROM THE HEARTLAND series
This series of books are based on lessons learned from families after the loss of a loved one. “For 15 years, I worked in funeral service. The stories I write about are excellent teachers for those who want to live a full and rewarding life,” says Jeff Gould.
I Like That Story books are divided into seven chapters on topics such as relationships, careers, money, family and more. Jeff’s uniquely midwestern wit, wisdom and ironic take on these stories shines through, creating memorable and compelling advice. Each book in this series will focus on one of the four quarters of life.
Book One: The First Twenty-Five Years of Life
The first in a series of four, the book provides stories, anecdotes and advice for the first 25 years of life.
Book Two: The Second Twenty-Five Years of Life
The second in a series of four, the book provides stories, anecdotes and advice for the second 25 years of life.
“Heartland, is a thoughtful collection filled with meaningful musings, wit, and wisdom. Whether reading from cover to cover or just a page or two, the truths tolds are valuable life lessons.”
Writing As JJ Gould
IMPOSSIBLE-TO-PUT-DOWN MYSTERIES
Under a pen name, JJ Gould, Jeff has written and published a series of mysteries: Dead Air, Dead Heat and Dead End. These compelling tales are set in the midwest, where beneath the polite cultural veneer, mystery, murder and mayhem await.

Dead Heat
A desperate woman hides out in a heat-scorched town on the deserted Plains. But her secret boils over and now she must face a crazed killer whose only motive is blood, murder and revenge.
Dead End
In early November, the dying Plains town of Dansing, South Dakota, sees the coming of winter and violence. Strangers looking for stolen Nazi gold hidden decades ago will stop at nothing to find it.
Dead Line
A jilted millionaire who made his fortune in strip clubs hires Stan to build an investigative news station, with the primary goal of digging up dirt on all the members of the country club that wouldn’t let him join.
4 Book Bundle
The popular four-book Dead Air series follows reporter Stan Martin through South Dakota blizzards, tornados, droughts and a host of crimes and criminals.
