My name is Drew Jones and enjoy writing about mysterious and strange
events. Some of my ideas are derived from my interest in classic
cars, military airfields and the paranormal. I normally write in my
study in Wales with my Labrador dog Monty at my feet, and many ideas
and plots are thought through on our walks together in the woods.
There are lots of ideas buzzing in my head, many involving our sleuth
Theodore Halfpenny, who will appear in Mysterious and Strange Events
Volume 2 – which I hope to start work on soon!

I have really had fun putting this collection together – so I hope
you have enjoyed them too. Perhaps you have read them on your
commute to work, on a plane as you travel towards your holiday, or as
a quick read at the end of a long day.

I’m usually enjoy longer fiction, but once in awhile I like short reads. Sounds like a good collection!
Thank you Priscilla, I tried to cover a wide range of subjects in this volume, so I hope there is something for everyone…
Many kind regards
Drew
That cover is certainly atmospheric, and this sounds like a wide variety of stories😊
Thank you Tammy, the house on the cover was a remote little holiday cottage I stayed at a few times in Lincolnshire. I used it for the setting in one of the stories.
Kind regards
Drew 🙂

As a writer struggling to write shorts, I admire those who can. Where in Wales do you and Monty live and walk? (I used to live in Harlech. And my DC lives in Morfa Bychan.)
Hi Roland, thank you for the comment. I live in Carmarthenshire between Carmarthen and Aberystwyth. My grandfather on my dads side was born further on up in Dolgellau. I don’t think that’s all that far from Harlech?
Many kind regards
Drew
Dolgellau was near enough to visit a few times – and is in my detective’s patch. I know Aberystwyth a one of our dogs came from here. Welsh-speaker?
Small world… Monty came from Aberystwyth too 🙂 I don’t really speak Welsh. Thank you for your reply Roland
Kind regards
Drew
