Reviewers describe his mystery/suspense novels “a fine moral thriller” and “a nail-biting book that you don’t want to miss.”
Jones began his writing career with magazine fiction and then published three books for young readers. His historical novel for pre-teens, The Edge of Two Worlds, went to seven printings and earned the Lewis Carroll Shelf and the Western Heritage Awards. It was selected by both the School Library Journal and Book World as one of the best books of the year and was designated a notable book by the American Library Association. His non-fiction book on computers was republished in several languages, and his biography is included in Something About the Author, a reference series about prominent authors of juvenile and young adult literature.
He now writes mystery novels and lectures abut the enduring appeal of the mystery. He reads everything from Faulkner to cereal boxes.
