He has been a member of the Writers Guild of America, East for more than twenty years. He lives in Scarsdale, New York with his wife, Margy; son, Gregory; and the family's wonderful little dog, Heidi.

Editorial Reviews

A fast-paced, gripping, can't-put-down read. The hero is a little heroic, a little geeky; the women are strong, mysterious, and beautiful. When they all come together, big things happen. All in all a terrific combination.

Goodreads - Alice Siempelkamp

This is a really good, fast paced story. The main character gets into so many binds that you want to scream at him not to make that next mistake, which of course he does. Beautiful women lead him into dangerous situations, because he is human enough to let desire make his decisions, instead of his obvious intelligence. Who hasn't been there? The plot is ingenious but plausible, and the tempo is unrelenting.

I picked "Double Blind" by Geoff Loftus because I wanted a fun summer read. It more than hit the mark and would have been just as good any time of year. The gripping opening reminded me why I have an aversion to tall buildings and the plot had enough twists and turns to keep up a good pace. For history buffs, there was a fringe benefit-lots of interesting facts and trivia sprinkled throughout the book. Loftus has a good ear for dialogue and keeps you turning the page with his action sequences.

Geoff Loftus writes like a cross between Tom Clancy and Aaron Sorkin. Double Blind would make a TERRIFIC movie. You don't just follow how the characters perform, you become involved with them. The book is exciting with a capital X.

I started this book at 10:00 PM and could not put it down. Fours hours later and bleary eyed I finally hit a "stopping point", if there is one in this book. I could hardly wait to finish the next day's work to come back to the book. Two short hours later I was done. Double Blind is extremely well written, very readable and full of action. So many twists and turns that I lost count. The comparison to Tom Clancy and others is right on. I can't wait until Geoff's next book.
