M. F. JONES
Writer of Stories that Haunt, Inspire, and Linger . . .
Welcome! I write the kinds of books that, as a voracious reader, I love to savor. Enter my world of spirits, benevolent and demonic; of war, the resilience of the human soul, and the redeeming force of love; of the power of women’s friendship both to heal and to wound; and of the love and responsibility we bear toward our animal companions.
Stones River, the first book in The Sentinel Heart Trilogy, is available now as an ebook, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook. To order, please click on the link below:
PRAISE FOR STONES RIVER
From Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize Review:
“Jones's prose is engaging, and her passion for the subject is evident throughout this largely romantic tale. She steers away from romanticizing the war itself, instead balancing its horrors with individual stories of heroism, courage, and reality…. Jones's characters are sharply honed and serve as a driving force for this appealing tapestry of history, romance, and ultimately, self-discovery.”
From NetGalley, Amazon, and Goodreads reviewers:
"heart-wrenching romance “
“a must-read for fans of paranormal romance and historical fiction"
“a thoughtful exploration of love, loss, and how the past shapes the present"
“a perfect choice for readers who enjoy love stories with history, heart, and a touch of the paranormal”
“not only a ghost story but a meditation on history’s insistent presence in the now, and the essentially human wish for … belonging and closure”
“It is no small feat to make a ghost feel like a fully realized romantic lead, but Jones pulls it off beautifully”
“a quiet tribute to those lost in war, especially those whose stories are buried in unmarked graves”
