Biography

I'm a reader and an author. I love books, love reading, love writing (but 'rithmatic!). I grew up in Wyoming, but have lived in the South for the last 25 years--or maybe longer. I did mention I'm not good at math, right? My official bio below: Pauline Baird Jones is the award-winning author of eight novels of action-adventure, suspense, romantic suspense and comedy-mystery.

Inspiration

It wasn't enough to love to read. Eventually I had to start writing books that I'd like to read. I write popular fiction, because I read to be entertained. Life is already serious enough! Don't want it in my fiction.
