Jones worked various clerical and civil service jobs until obtaining a Fine Art Diploma of Higher Education from Middlesex Polytechnic.[4] Writing careerJones' first book, The Mole and Beverley Miller, was published by Hodder Books in 1987.[5] Since then, he has published children's and young adult books and stories in multiple genres, including fantasy, romance, and speculative fiction. Jones is a prolific author of novel series for young people. He was commissioned to write the first book of The Mystery Club series (published as written by non-existent author Fiona Kelly), after which he was given his own series, including The Hunter and Moon books, Dark Paths, the Little Sister books(As A F Jones), Talisman, Special Agents (under the pen name Sam Hutton), and the six volume fantasy series The Faerie Path and Warrior Princess (both as Frewin Jones). One of the Talisman books, The Tears of Isis, was shortlisted for the 2006 Stockton Children's Book of the Year literary prize. In 2008, Jones met with the illustrator Gary Chalk and they produced a series for Hodder Children's Books, published in the UK as Sundered Lands and in America as The Six Crowns. This series was praised by the American Library Association's [https://web.archive.org/web/20080319032625/http://www.ala.org/ala/booklist/booklist.htm Booklist] and well-reviewed in School Library Journal, Kirkus, and Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, among other places. Following The Six Crowns, Jones was offered a six-volume spy-boy series by Orion, published as Codename Quicksilver, while continuing to do ‘writer-for-hire’ work and continuing to collaborate with Gary Chalk on new series ideas. Jones is represented by Pam van Hylckama Vlieg of Foreword Literary, a hybrid literary agency based in California.
