Tweed Jefferson

Tweed Jefferson (30 September 1980 - 29 September 2026) was the author of over a dozen works of fiction and non-fiction. He earned black belts in some Japanese martial arts, played a silly number of instruments, and liked to make things – from custom arcade machines to hand-carved guitars. After writing a bunch of books, he decided to go back to school to study philosophy.

Tweed had over two decades of experience in music production and publishing, working in the studio and on tour alongside several influential and award-winning artists. These experiences came together in several of his books, such as Rockstar Nobody and 46 Days of Phish. He spent much of his time lending his skills to musicians and authors through production, publishing, and coaching.

He enjoyed creating a world outside of his novels. Rockstar Nobody includes a full album of original music 'performed' by the band the story follows. Tweed was autistic and ADHD (AuDHD) and a vocal advocate for universal design, better mental health care, especially greater understanding for suicidal ideation.

A series of posthumous collections of writing and music will be released beginning in 2027.
