Mary Brock Jones

Mary Brock Jones lives in Auckland, New Zealand, but loves nothing more than to escape into the other worlds in her head, to write science fiction and historical romances. Her parents introduced her to libraries and gave her a farm to play on, where trees became rocket ships and rocky outcrops were ancient fortresses. She grew up writing, filling pages of notebooks and filling her head with stories, but took a number of detours on the pathway to her dream job. For many years, she was a sedate office worker by day and a frantic scribbler by night. After four grown sons, more than one house renovated, grandchildren, a career as a government veterinarian and a farm to play on in the weekends, her wish came true and she is now writing full time. Her books have won a Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal Chapter of RWA Prism award, an SFR Galaxy Award and made the finals list for the Romance Writers of Australia RUBY awards, the RWNZ KORU awards, and the RWNZ Clendon awards.
