The Wizard of Nod book II and Acts of the Shaddai The final Testament completing the trilogy. Born September 8, 1963, Jones was raised in a family of small-town preachers and became well versed in the stories of the bible. His love for books began with the Laura Wilder stories about a pioneer family who set out on a great adventure filled with tribulation and love. The books were read to the neighborhood kids by his mother at what used to be traditional story time in most homes. Other books of influence include The Hobbit series, Tom Sawyer, and Hines feet on high places. Jones greatest influence remains Stephen King and his work on the Dark Tower Series. The Bloodline Chronicles was very much inspired by Stephen Kings Book Wizard and Glass. As a high school journalist in Truckee California, Jones wrote editorials for the school paper mostly about his love for the outdoors and fishing. Jones never abandoned his love of writing and continued authoring short stories, poems, and songs as he paid the bills in a more traditional fashion. Jones studied Community Relations, and Criminology at Lassen College in Susanville and went on to study Leadership and Labor Relations at Sacramento State University. Jones retired as an Associate Warden for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in 2013 after 23 years of service,15 at San Quentin.
