My professional career was in international and commercial banking— with assignments in Southeast Asia and Africa. I started writing fiction about 25 years ago and am very excited about the publication of my first novel Tatiana and the Russian Wolves (released in October 2018) —especially at age 75, when many people write their memoirs. I graduated from Stanford with a degree in history in 1965. While at Stanford, I discovered art history and considered a career in the arts. But practicality prevailed, and I opted for business school and international banking. After business school in 1968, I joined the Bank of America’s International Division. Speaking good Spanish at the time, I was surprised and somewhat bewildered when I was assigned to the bank’s Jakarta Branch. My international postings included Singapore, London, East Africa, and Chicago; I found Singapore to be the cleanest and Chicago the most dangerous. Tatiana and the Russian Wolves is a family saga that began during the Russian Revolution. Alexander Romanovsky, an international banker in San Francisco, is the only survivor of two aristocratic families. Plot themes include incipient insanity, dishonesty, miscarried good intentions and dubious atonement. Alexander’s psychological journey is not only treacherous but startling. My novel is available at stephenevansjordan.com—with links to my short stories as well. I encourage my fellow septuagenarians to explore creative writing.
