Jeff Borders, aka Super Jeff, El Jefe, or Cap, emerged from the beautiful forests of the Pacific Northwest after a fallout with Sasquatch over a minor territory dispute. Some might call him a “chronic overachiever,” but they don’t know the half of it. When not writing and spending time with his family, he works as the Respiratory Therapy Manager. Jeff retired from the Volunteer Fire Station in 2025, where he had served for 16 years, including his final years as Station Captain.
Most of Jeff’s current novels fall in the young adult fantasy genre. His goal has been and always will be to produce books that he’d be comfortable letting his kids read without hidden ideologies, vulgarity, and/or sexual content. What a prude, am I right? What will you find in his books? Well, I’m glad you asked (even if you didn’t). You’ll find stories of family, friendships, redemption, overcoming tragedy, understanding a divine purpose or destiny, and lots of good-natured humor. Heavy on the humor.
His fantasy trilogy, The Diamond War, which consists of: “Stealing Eternity, The Broken Queen, and The Last Goddess,” centers around a young teal-eyed thief named Kyra, who steals a diamond thinking it will be her way out of the slums, but instead, ends up embroiling her in a war that has been raging for centuries. Consider it a cross between a good heist movie, like The Italian Job, but with magic, and toss in a reincarnation theme from something like Cloud Atlas. The follow-up novel, A King Reborn, takes place several hundred years after the events of the trilogy when the war once again rears its ugly head, and focuses heavily on Vencent Cristoff.
Jeff has also published a western-fantasy crossover called “The Deathdealer’s Legacy,” which follows apprentice bounty hunter Dash Harper. Having to use all the skills he practiced, Dash races desperately to find his adoptive father, who was mysteriously abducted. This book is an homage to his father and grandfathers, with whom he spent many hours watching old westerns. Really, it was just a way to con his dad into reading a fantasy book. Gotha, dad! This book is best described as a blend of Tombstone and Avatar: The Last Airbender, with a dash of talking animals.
Jeff also publishes religion books, and his first religion book is called “The Antichrist Playbook: A Guide For Young Saints to Avoid Deception and Defeat the Devil.” This book is intended to help people see Satan’s deceptions in our day through the examples of antichrists in the Book of Mormon. This book functions like a workbook with plenty of opportunities for self-reflection and is riddled with Gen-Z humor. You’re welcome!
Beyond novels, Jeff has written articles and commentary, which can be found in publications and websites such as Spokane Faith and Values, This Week In Mormons, Leading Saints, The Ensign Magazine (now Liahona), The Spokesman-Review, LDS Living, and Ward Radio News.
In his rare moments of free time, Jeff revels in the company of his wife and four children, often wondering if there’s such a thing as underachieving.
