About
Russell Jones
Russell Jones is the author of the Erin Callahan thriller series, The Wolf That Chews Rocks, and the Sunday Times bestseller The Decade In Tory.
He spent a few decades as a software monkey, designer and illustrator before accidentally falling into writing in 2022. He hopes to keep falling for a long time, because it's fun.
He lives in Cheshire, England. He's taken, which has come as a shock to everybody involved, and he's usually a bit too tired to come to your party. But thanks for asking.
Why follow him on Bluesky or Substack, when you could go for a nice walk in the sunshine instead?
