I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a materials scientist, and a writer. I write science fiction/fantasy, romance and erotica, usually all in the same book. My novels and novellas are published by erotic romance publisher Loose Id ; my short stories are published in a variety of places, including Suspect Thoughts and Clean Sheets .

There are excerpts from the novels and some complete short stories available on my website .

This is now pretty much a write-only journal -- I set it up because some of my friends and readers asked me if I would, but I've found that the MySpace interface is actively user-hostile if you're got RSI, poor eyesight and migraine. :-( I do log in every week or two, but I don't guarantee to read anything in a great hurry, including friend requests. My main blog is still over at Livejournal: http://julesjones.livejournal.com/ .
If you want to contact me urgently, it's best to do it through my Gmail address or by commenting on my LiveJournal.

Ignore the personal information given next to the picture -- since MySpace insists on displaying it to the world, I see no reason to tell it the truth...

Book review: Trevor Baxendale -- Something in the water (Torchwood)

First in the trio of books released for the start of the second tv series. There are a couple of internal references to tell you that it's set between "To the last man" and "Meat", but there's nothing...

Book review: Albert Sanchez Pinol -- Pandora in the Congo

I got this book as part of LibraryThing's Early Reviewer programme, and probably wouldn't have picked it up if I'd simply seen it in the bookshop. But the description in the ER programme intrigued me,...
