Autorenporträt
Guy Jones was always an observer even from a very young age. He watched and assimilated everything about him: this made him the ideal chronicler of this particular narrative. He is a man who is interested in life and people, and his varied worksmirror this, reflecting therecurring extremes of tragedy and humour in everyday living. A sequel is pending to The Journies...Demon Seed, and also a collection of plays.
