Tim Jones Interview:
Tim Jones is a New Zealand poet, short story writer and novelist who lives in Wellington. I met him at his employer, Webstruxure, in downtown Wellington, just off Courtenay Place. Tim is a tall, bookish looking man with brown hair and glasses. He looks a lot younger than his 52 years and I noticed throughout the interview, that he is both conscientious about everything he says, and at the same time, eager to talk about writing, the craft and his methods. Full of energy, Tim quite often interrupts his own sentences with a side comment and multiple tangents and sub-clauses. He also loves to change his voice to note particularly serious quotes or thoughts from his past self, but always in a mocking tone.
Tim has published two collections of short stories, “Extreme Weather Events” and “Transported”, a novel,"Anarya's Secret: An Earthdawn Novel” and three poetry collections, “Boat People”, “All Blacks' Kitchen Gardens” and “Men Briefly Explained”
Tim also discusses his writing and his many other interests on his blog “Books in Trees”.
