Bill Jones, Jr. is an American novelist born in Washington D.C. Initially a published poet, in 2009, after years away from writing, working in the information technology sector, Bill penned his first novel and discovered his true vocation.
His work is wide-ranging, including the dystopian future fiction tome Hard as Roxx; the contemporary fantasy fiction trilogy, The Stream; detective stories The Little Burgundy and The Brooklyn Trace; as well as a bit of African American alternate history in The Stubborn Life of Jesse Ed McKinney. Bill has also released three short fiction collections. He believes it’s important to understand that while heroes don’t always win in the end, they sometimes do. As such, his stories always offer some degree of hope.
Now, having retired from his former career, Bill spends his time creating fictional worlds, reading, world building, smiling at grandsons, and exploring Earth with his cameras and his artist-photographer wife.
