Craig Jones is from Wales, the home of great rugby, great
singing and many great writers and artists. Craig lives in Cardiff with his
wife Claire, baby son Shane and a rather insane ginger cat called Wookie. He
works for Public Health Wales and is the Wales lead on alcohol harm reduction.
As much as he loves this job, his dream is to be a full time writer.
Inspired by the late, great James Herbert, Stephen King and Bret Easton Ellis
(Craig says Patrick Bateman is the best character ever created and it is even
better that he was played by a Welshman in the movie) he has always been a huge
horror fan. From Jason to Freddie, Ash to Rick Grimes, there is nothing scary
that he won't watch, no one he won't try to scare with his stories.
Craig writes for young adults because he believes the more they read, the more
creative they will become."I grew up with a book in one hand and a tennis
racket in the other. I think writers have a responsibility to pen stories to
inspire youngsters to read by knowing what kids want."
