Welcome to the New Site

As JVJ.com has been online for over 30 years, we felt it was just about ready for a refresh! You can read a little more about it in the new journal. Needless to say, I really hope you enjoy your visit.

I completed the final draft of Endlords in September. It’s the best book in the Sword of Shadows series and I’m extremely proud of it. The sixth and final book will be titled A Sword Named Loss. I’ve already started work on it. The on-going process of bringing Endlords to publication is continuing and the book will soon be in your hands. Keep checking back for more information.

Sorry Jones

To ‘warm up’ before writing Endlords I wrote a 100,000 word novel named Sorry Jones, in a genre I like to call Modern Epic Fantasy. One of these days I’ll see about getting it published.

"It was not snowing but the air was full of snow. The west wind was a horizontal force, whipping against the Dhoone Fort and the man who stood watch there.”

In Endlords Mal Naysayer and Ash March head north toward an epic battle at Night’s Deep. Twelve Sull, Mor Xana, the Standing Dead, pursue them.

What people are saying

“Jones hones her craft further in this gripping fourth installment, where the stakes escalate as the Endlords' influence breaches the world. Raif, now the reluctant Watcher of the Dead, and Ash confront their fates amid sieges, betrayals, and supernatural horrors. The emotional depth and unflinching grit make this a standout continuation.”
