Originally from South Wales, I have held a wide range of jobs from tennis player to gym manager to health service worker. I turned 40 in October, am married to Claire and we have a cat called Wookie. I went to school with Catherine Zeta-Jones, have played tennis with Jamie Redknapp and coached Great Britain’s first ever World Number One tennis player.
I have always enjoyed horror books and movies, everything from Jason Voorhees and his slasher friends through to creepy characters like Hannibal Lector. When I write I am always trying to create realistic people and thrust them into terrifying situations.
Hope you enjoy!

Just another quiet Friday night...

So I'm all set for a weekend of rugby... going to the European Cup final tomorrow and planned on watching the Challenge Cup final on tv tonight... and then magic happened!
I wrote a fun story, an off-shoot alternative reality from my Gem vampire series, writing in my publisher Terry Wright of TWB Press, his wife and ME! Well Terry comes up with this great idea of giving it away as a freebie to prom Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Craig Jones  (?)

“Maloney looked around my room and nodded like he approved of the extravagance surrounding him: the inch-thick carpet with its diamond designs, the half moon flock of the wallpaper, and the antique furniture, polished to a museum quality shine. The two goons he brought with him flanked the door, equally impressed, I could tell by their dropped jaws and roving, wanton eyes. One of them set a briefcase on the floor beside him. Finally Maloney’s eyes found me, and his expression turned from amazement to shock.
“I didn’t expect you to be--”
“A Vampire?” I asked, feeling the touch of a smile form on my lips.”
Craig Jones, Gem - No Loose Ends

Ah yes, I remember those times well. A full night's sleep every night, plenty of free time on my hands and the washing machine was only on once a week.

Happy days :)

You'll have that next book knocked out in no time :P

Hi Craig, that's brilliant news, I loved Outbreak so much and really want to read more about what happens next - can't wait!! Thanks for the kind message too. So glad I found Outbreak and completely out of the blue too - I guess all the best books out there you kind of stumble upon...Best wishes to you and send me a shout out when the sequel is out.
