Brent Jones's Blog, page 2

“…a surprising, yet disturbing, ending…”

There’s a kind of weary resignation at the beginning of [Chambers] … so much emotion in these few pages, and a surprising, yet disturbing, ending that I didn’t see coming.

—Kay Smillie, Amazon & Goodreads Reviewer

“…I’m blown away.”

Brent Jones has this incredible ability to craft an intriguing story in such a short amount of time. I read Row 17 in about a half hour, and I’m blown away. My first read of 2019, and I’m so glad I chose this one.

“Brilliant. Gripping. Intense.”

[Chambers was the] best short story I read this year. Brilliant. Gripping. Intense.

—Janice J. Richardson, author of Grave Mistake

“Brent Jones is an author to watch.”

There are small surprises along the way, but the biggest surprise [in Chambers] is the totally unexpected ending…Brent Jones is an author to watch.

Merry Christmas! I’m Headed Offline. See You in 2019.

In less than two weeks, it’ll be Christmas day.

We’ve got our place decorated. How about you?

See? Here’s Andréa, trimming the tree.

And here I am, pretending to stick a fake gift under the tree, for no purpose other than to take this photo.

At any rate, as the year draws to a close, I wanted to take this opportunity to say the following:

#1 — I’M HEADED OFFLINE…

I’m signing out of social media and I’m deleting the apps from my phone.

For now, at least.

Well, I might stay signed in to Insta...

“…full of action, suspense, and twists and turns…”

The audio version of The Afton Morrison Series…is full of action, suspense, and twists and turns, that will keep you on the edge your seat. [The n]arration is excellent and [it] adds to the intrigue.

—Barbara Brostek, Audible Listener

“Kristin James was so good, and the story, too!”

Kristin James was so good, [and] the story, too! …so glad I was able to [listen to The Afton Morrison Series] all at once.

—Leslie Alvarez, Audible Listener

“I enjoyed it immensely…great murderous fun.”

A fun listen, especially with Kristin James narrating. She is able to imbue [The Afton Morrison Series] with a mystery, which draws in the reader, as well as a superbly over-the-top theatrical inner voice, simultaneously funny and chilling…I enjoyed it immensely…great murderous fun.

—Norma Miles, Audible Listener

“I like books about strong women and Afton did not disappoint.”

Loved, loved, loved [Go Home, Afton]! I like books about strong women and Afton did not disappoint. … I am so curious to read the rest in the series, to find answers to the many questions I have unanswered from this first book.

—Josette Thomas, Amazon & Goodreads Reviewer

Two New Short Stories: “Row 17” & “Chambers” (99¢ Each)

I will be releasing two new short stories in the coming weeks, each for 99 cents, each in the ballpark of 5,000 to 7,000 words, and both available to pre-order now.

The first will be Row 17 on December 3. The second will be Chambers on December 10.

Although both short stories are vastly different in terms of theme and style, both could be classified as literary fiction.

Here is a first look at the cover of each, as well as a detailed synopsis.
