    Jones Stories Author

    Hi everyone! 
      
    Above all else, I’m a dad of four children. 
    These interactive Jones Stories were shared verbally with my two youngest children. These stories are designed to expand parent’s and children’s imaginations. Jones Stories are and were maximum FUN! 
      
    I’ve been writing for many years. I’ve written film screenplays, scripts, magazine articles, advertising copy, and I’ve worked in the entertainment business for over 30 years. 
    As a parent, I wanted something different for my children, to stir their active imaginations. 
    To keep the action moving, these books are written like a movie script. Very little description is given, so that each child uses their own imagination. 
    Everyone gets the story in their own mind’s eye. 
      
    These stories were loved by my children and please enjoy the wild Jones Family ride. 
    The Jones Family are an average family that stumbles into a world of magic. 
      
    Thank you all, 
    Jamee Dee
