Jeff Woods told CA: "My father is a historian and prolific writer. He is my greatest influence. I worked hard, though, to try to develop my own voice. I write under the name Jeff Woods instead of my full name so there will be fewer possibilities that I'll be confused with my father. Nevertheless, like him, I write about the South, the Cold War, and contemporary political issues."
