Jan Coffey

Jan Coffey (a.k.a. Nikoo & Jim McGoldrick) Nikoo and Jim McGoldrick are storytellers with a checkered past. From the submarine shipyards of Electric Boat in Groton, Connecticut, and the clubs of Rodeo Drive, to the forges of Pennsylvania and the electronics manufacturers of Massachusetts, these two have spent their lives gathering material for their novels. Nikoo, a manufacturing engineer, and Jim, who has a Ph.D. in sixteenth-century British literature, wrote their first full-length novel in 1994. Since then, Jim and Nikoo have written over thirty novels and two works of nonfiction. They write under the pseudonyms of May McGoldrick and Jan Coffey.
