Pauline Baird Jones is the award-winning author of eight novels of action-adventure, suspense, romantic-suspense, and comedy-mystery. She's also written two non-fiction books, Adapting Your Novel for Film, and Made-up Mayhem. Her seventh novel, Out of Time, an action-adventure romance set in World War II, is an EPPIE 2007 Winner! Her Sci Fi Romance novel The Key is a 2008 IPPY Bronze Medal Winner!
Pauline was raised in Wyoming, but lived in New Orleans with her husband and children for 18 years before moving to Houston, Texas in 2003. For four years she wrote a humor column for her Wyoming hometown paper.
She's always loved romantic suspense, but didn't start her own until she got the idea for her first novel, Pig in a Park while watching Scarecrow and Mrs. King reruns. Her blend of romantic suspense and humor is, she believes, a natural outcome of growing up in a large family.
Pauline is a past President of The Final Twist - the Houston, Texas chapter of the national Sisters in Crime organization. She's also served as the Vice President of EPIC. Find out more about these writer's organizations by clicking on the links in the right-hand column.
