Background

Jones was born in Royal Turnbridge Wells, Kent to parents Pamela and Trefor Jones. At the age of one, she moved with her family to Oxford. Thirteen years later, when Jones was fourteen, they moved again, this time to Devon.

At the age of 19, Jones moved to London, where she resided for the next ten years, before moving to California, where she lives in San Diego.

Work history

Jones' first paid job in journalism was on the children's comic, Postman Pat. At the age of 20, she moved on to become a feature writer on Woman's World.

She also spent four years working on more! magazine as a travel editor. While there, she also produced, scripted and co-presented the Mr more! male model contest, held at London's Hippodrome nightclub.

Following her time at more!, she went freelance and has had work published in Elle, FHM, Bliss, Company, and Cosmopolitan, among others.

Jones is the co-founder of Notting Hill Press with author Talli Roland and author Michele Gorman.

Books

Her books tend to be aimed for a female audience, often falling into the women's fiction or "chick lit" categories.

All of her novels feature travel as a dominant theme, often with the protagonist travelling to a new place and centring on the events that unfold there.

Romance is also a dominant theme in her novels, usually with the protagonist's romantic interest being native of the place they are visiting.

Her novels are written from a first person perspective from the point of view of the lead character, but with strong supporting characters also.
