Tim Jones (writer)

Tim Jones (writer)

Tim Jones (born 1959) is a New Zealand writer and poet.

Born in Grimsby, England, Jones moved to Southland, New Zealand at a young age. He was educated at the University of Otago in Dunedin, and has lived in Wellington since 1993.

Jones has published four books, a novel, a short story andthology, and two books of poetry. A fifth book (a further short fiction anthology) is scheduled for publication by Random House NZ during 2008.

Jones has long been associated with the New Zealand science fiction fan community and also with New Zealand's environmentalist movement. Both themes are present in his books, though neither dominates his writing.

Jones's work was nominated for a Sir Julius Vogel Award for poetry in 2004, and "Anarya's Secret" has been nominated for Best Novel in the 2008 awards. His poem "Shostakovich in America" was a finalist in the 2007 Bravado International Poetry Competition, finishing in third place.
