YvonneToday, my Mailbox Monday features third time returning author Alan Jones, who published his latest novel on April 1st.
Having so enjoyed Alan’s first two forays into the world of fiction writing, there was no way that I was going to let the opportunity to get my hands on a copy of ‘Bloq’, pass me by 🙂

BLOQ
A father waits in Glasgow’s Central Station for his daughter, returning home from London for Christmas.
When the last train has pulled in, and she doesn’t get off it, he makes a desperate overnight dash to find out why.
His search for her takes over his life, costing him his job and, as he withdraws from home, family and friends, he finds himself alone, despairing of ever seeing her again.

ALAN JONES
Alan was born in Glasgow 1960 and lived there for the first 22 years of his life. He now lives and works on the Ayrshire coast, in the animal health industry. He is married with four grown up children, and in his spare time reads, sails, makes furniture, plays football and watches films, when he’s not writing of course!
Alan Jones is his pen name, as wishes for the time being, to remain anonymous.
He started writing in 2003, but it took a few false starts over the next ten years before he completed his first novel, ‘The Cabinetmaker’. Despite one agent and one small publishing company showing interest, they didn’t take the book on, so he self published on Kindle, and latterly on Smashwords. It was favourably reviewed, but reader’s feedback threw up a few issues.
His second book, ‘Blue Wicked’, took a year to write and using the feedback he’d had from the first book, resulted in a shorter, more pithy novel than the first one.
