My name is Owen Jones, and I am a writer from Barry, South Wales. I have written more than fifty stories and many of those have been or are being translated into foreign languages. Furthermore, some of those books are being narrated into audio books.
This page contains a list of free extracts from those novels.
Audible, which produces these audio books sometimes has a promotion that allows new clients to download free audio books, so my suggestion is to listen to a few of these extracts, choose one or more that you like and click through to see it on Amazon.
If there are free copies available, you will see a link on Amazon to its sister site, Audible where you can download it free of charge.
Before you rush off to take advantage of this offer, I want you to be aware that these free audio books on Audible are not specially-created abridged or shortened cheap versions of my books. They are the full, original editions narrated by high-class professionals. I chose the narrators myself, and got to know them over the course of working together.
I recommend all of them highly. they all have voices that perfectly match the stories they are telling, and they all add an extra dimension to my stories. They embellish them.
If you want to know something about my style, I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream… and, in the ends, it’s really all the same
I won’t hold you up any longer except to say that I hope you enjoy my work, that you will manage to obtain at least one of them free, and that you will leave a review of it on Audible (whether you like it or not).
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”.
