Biography

From the main website:

Welcome to Bloodletters Ink!

After many incarnations and experimental sites it became clear to me what was needed most for this main creative hub. A static, one-stop shopping area where my books could be both sold and seen as they were brought into creation. Usually, there are three to four projects going on at any one time, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with the various websites created for each one. Thus, the confusing conglomeration of sites for every project have now been compressed into a very tidy works-in-progress section, the banners giving myself just enough creative license to play with formatting and colours. Each story’s episode or chapter will be posted in these banners as links to a basic text file for ease of reading and downloading into as wide a selection of e-readers as possible.

I am M. Jones, the author of this site and the works within. I have been published both online and in print, wrote a script for a radio play (The Withered Leaves of Autumn, as created and performed by the amazing Necropolis Studios) and have run a couple of ezines which somehow never seemed to get off on the right footing (I still don’t know what to do with The Random Eye. I loved the concept, but parallel universes seems to be too narrow a niche–Or maybe too wide, since authors seem to get lost in it. I’ll probably make the first two editions available free on Smashwords at some point.) I’m still running Zombie Romance, which is an ongoing, catch-as-catch-can kind of project. Considering the single minded purpose of zombies and their plodding, zen-like pursuit of their desires, this is probably the best approach for that site :P.

If you are looking for reviews of my work to make sure I’m not some typing hack whose only claim to fame is being able to use a spellcheck once in a while, you can find some lovely words about my books 314 Crescent Manor and Black Wreath at The Web Fiction Guide. Be sure to check out the other works by other authors there as well, especially if you decide your first suspicions about me being a typing, spellchecking hack to be correct.

Smashwords book reviews by M Jones

  • Zombie Nights on June 03, 2010
    star star star
    Cool book on the zombie POV with engaging characters and an interesting, quiet take on the zombie concept. The ending felt rushed, however, and I would like to know how things got on with Ray and Cookie and the others. Maybe a sequel?

    Really enjoying this book. A good, tense read with great characters and a beautifully described eerie setting. Definitely an author to watch.
  • Zombie Punter (Zombie Era, Book 1) on Jan. 05, 2011
    star star star star
    As one of the most hardworking writers in the world of weblit, Zoe does not disappoint with this hard action, B-movie zombie novel, complete with mad scientists, blood and guts and mad apocalyptic survival skills with a little bit of Lord of the Flies sensibilities thrown in. Questioning the theory of zombie sentience takes on fresh new meaning in Zombie Punter, and unlike many other zombie novels, this one does end on a hopeful note. The issue of human limits to tolerance, however, stands in the way. This novel does have GLBT themes and sex scenes, so if guy on guy isn't your thing and you get the vapours at the thought of reading it, you might want to give it a miss. There aren't that many, however, and frankly the theme of tolerance and science arriving at a cure for zombies as opposed to anger and power is significantly more important than who bumps who. (So what I'm saying is, if it bugs you enough to avoid a good story, then you're on the zombie menu, ya dig?) The pacing of the story is very fast, and if I have a quibble with it, it's that I would have liked some scenes to have unfolded more slowly, with the climactic scenes at the end brought into better focus. All in all, a riveting read, with interesting characters and a highly original plot. Available in various formats for $0.99 at Smashwords, which I recommend—Indie authors, like zombies, need our love!
