Joey Jones (aka Jodi Jones and Kai Jones) has been a print and radio journalist, advertising copywriter, editor,  print and radio commentator, and has ghostwritten everything from speeches to love letters. She is a past Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting semifinalist, Fade In: Screenwriting Awards quarterfinalist, and Screencraft Cinematic Books competition semifinalist. She’s been a Field Producer for radio networks (ask her about the BBC and the bell), and her on-air performance as “The Dying Fish” can be heard in the Water Education Foundation commercial series. Her artwork is available in the IdeaJones shop on Redbubble, or in fine art exhibits.

Mark Jones produces radio shows (like Connections on CapRadio’s Music Station). He’s heard on CapRadio’s four news stations, and sometimes – during fund drives – on the Music Station. He also writes radio ads and stories, and has sung, acted and directed audio books, local theater, and TV.

We’re excited about finally (finally!) pursuing our dream to share our stories with you in our novels. Whether it’s the heartfelt, humorous world of the Based On A True Story series or the weirdly warm but scary realm of the Werre World books, we hope you enjoy meeting our smart, funny, challenged, challenging characters.
