About

I’m Sharon Marie Jones and I’m a children’s author.

I also have a small online craft business, Swyn y Mor, creating pictures and cards using pebbles, driftwood and seaglass.

I grew up in mountainous North Wales with my very own fairy door on the crab apple tree at the bottom of my garden.

I now live near Aberystwyth, in mid-Wales, close to the sea and beautiful countryside. I’m Mam to three beautiful boys. Tragically, my second son, Ned, 5 years old, was killed in a horrific car crash on March 25th, 2016.

That fateful day has changed me forever. In my grief, I have found comfort in words – by writing my own words and reading others’ words. Writing helps me try to make some sense of the feelings that fill me. Writing children’s fiction allows me to escape from reality. That’s the wonder and magic of words.

I worked as a Primary School teacher for 13 years but now write full-time. When I’m not writing or creating craft, you can usually find me strolling along the beach with my dog, Benji, or lost in a book, snuggled in my garden hammock.
