Jones has is a Mid-West girl with a warm heart, a smart mouth, and a passion for well-told stories. Her books and her wander lust have taken her all over the country, as far north as Juneau, AK to as far south as New Orleans, LA. She's met lots of terribly interesting people in each port of call, and for reasons of curiosity / lack of propriety, she now knows how to say, "Nipple" in twenty-five (or so) languages.
