Soos jy dalk deur my boekwinkel verneem het, het ek vyftig of so romans geskryf, maar hulle is almal in Engels. Ek laat hulle egter in verskillende tale vertaal, en hierdie bladsy bevat ‘n lys van al my boeke in Afrikaans.
Aan die begin sal daar nie baie wees nie, maar jy sal die aantal vertalings geleidelik sien verhoog. Kom dus gereeld terug om uit te vind wat gebeur het. As jy ‘n spesifieke voorkeur het oor wat die volgende vertaling moet wees, laat my asseblief weet en ek sal my bes doen.
Die onderstaande lys is egter die boeke wat reeds op verskeie platforms beskikbaar is of tans vertaal word. Wanneer die boektitels hiperskakels word, sal hulle jou na die bladsye met meer besonderhede van die boeke in Afrikaans neem.
Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
