New Author

Local woman pens first book

Posted

Julie Jones is the author of the paranormal historical novel, “The Plantation,” a ghostly tale of voodoo and mayhem set in a factual account of the American Civil War.

Jones is a local resident, born in Crawfordsville and raised in the woods and waters of Yountsville. When she wasn’t attending school where she was a student of history and English-Lit, she was busy swimming, climbing and horseback riding. She was a spiritually minded girl who lost herself in nature and animals. She took great joy in music and began playing guitar in her first rock band at the age of 16 at the same time she began embracing the concept of natural healing. Books were her constant companion and she soon found herself writing countless songs, poems and short stories.

Jones became a Reiki Master Holistic Healer some 30 years ago, and more recently decided to try her hand at writing her first novel. Now, with “The Plantation” out, and her current novel in the works, her books are full of the things she loves most.

The book can be found on Amazon and on her website www.juliejonesbookstore.com. Her upcoming novel, “The Calling of Crows,” is scheduled to be released within the year.

Jones will attend the Author’s Fair at Fusion 54 on Nov. 26. The fair is being held in conjunction with the annual Downtown Party Night.
