    Owen Jones

    Author Owen Jones, from Barry, South Wales, came to writing novels relatively recently, although he has been writing all his adult life. He has lived and worked in several countries and travelled in many, many more. He speaks, or has spoken, seven languages fluently and is currently learning Thai, since he lived in Thailand with his Thai wife of ten years. "It has never taken me long to learn a language," he says, "but Thai bears no relationship to any other language I have ever studied before." When asked about his style of writing, he said, "I'm a Celt, and we are Romantic. I believe in reincarnation and lots more besides in that vein. Those beliefs, like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around', Fate and Karma are central to my life, so they are reflected in my work'. His first novel, 'Daddy's Hobby' from the series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya' has become the classic novel on Pattaya bar girls and has been followed by six sequels. However, his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a young teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. After fifteen years of travelling, Owen and his wife are now back in his home town. He sums up his style as: "I write about what I see... or think I see... or dream... and in the end, it's all the same really..."

      When I first started to play with the concept that I might be able to actually produce pretty things using pen, paper and paint (nicely alliterative that), this was one of the first books I purchased. I didn't know much about the artist who created these lovely initials, but they did look like they were medieval. What I didn't realize is that Owen Jones, while a truly excellent artist and the man who almost single-handedly opened Victorian minds to the art of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, was, in fact, a man of the 19th century himself.Jones studied medieval illuminated manuscripts, digested the art, and then, using them as his inspiration, created some extremely lovely works. Then he took what he had learned, organized it, and offered it up in books of his own so that others could appreciate and use the material themselves.Much of his material is quite usable, whether for modern C&I uses and more period ones. My only caveat is that you make sure that you don't copy his human forms -- he tended to change the "sad" faces into happy ones. They're glaringly awful and very funny.
