When I was seven my parents bought me a clunky, black typewriter that made a very satisfying 'ping' noise when I reached the end of a line. I was hooked. And thus began one of the most formative and important relationships of my life: that with the written word. After an undergraduate degree in History and Politics at the University of Western Australia I went on to do a PhD investigating debates around pornography and censorship in post war Australia (yes, they really did ban Lolita and Lady Chatterley's Lover on the grounds of obscenity). My first novel Red Dress Walking was published by Allen and Unwin in October 2008 and was described in the Sydney Morning Herald as a 'beautifully written and intellectually interesting novel' and in the Australian Book Review as 'the promising début of Western Australian author S.A. Jones. A revealing look at friendships and love affairs, and the cumulative minutiae that make and break them, the novel consists of the alternating narratives of Will and Emily as they reflect upon their relationship and trace it from its unlikely origins to the coup de grace...Red Dress Walking is testament to a promising talent'. I am fascinated by writing and writers, reading and readers. I am currently working on my second novel and a collection of creative non-fiction essays.

I served my apprenticeship in manufacturing in the UK and Australia, becoming a company director at age 30. Since then I have started/run 5 businesses in consulting, strategy and large scale organisation change. I have been a volunteer business mentor for 14 years and many of those clients are still friends. For some years I traveled the Pacific Islands teaching public sector management, made many friends and gathering interesting stories. In a few years time my students will run the governments in their countries because they are such good people. Today I run a website www.bizlearn.biz devoted to really useful business ideas, tools, topics and techniques, and I am looking for contributors. I am a sailor with two of the worlds great ocean races under my belt, Sydney-Hobart and Melbourne-Hobart. I now live in a beautiful private patch of Kauri bush in New Zealand, and enjoy the birds living in the 100 foot trees around our tree house in the canopy. I love cooking for my partner and friends but refuse all suggestions that I should open a restaurant. We receive frequent visits to our haven of peace from friends around the world, and out philosophy is the "when you live in paradise, the world will come to you."
