Jake Lloyd Jones is a singer-songwriter, blogger and accidental poet. This is his first published volume of essentially, prosaic free-verse, but hopefully not his last. He has been writing prose and poems since he was fourteen years of age.
Born in New-Zealand, he spent the first 35 years of his life there before emigrating to Australia, where some of his lineage is from. He currently resides on the Northside of Brisbane in Queensland, by the sea. He has three adult sons and a teenage daughter, residing in proximity.
His first solo CD 'Just Like That!' recorded and produced at the end of 2007, won local Government funding for recording. It was subsequently picked up by a publisher and distributor in Canberra and won an ARIA nomination in the Blues and Roots category for best album and has had worldwide exposure via radio and online representation. He has also had some recognition for a short poem for its literary style and creativity in 2008 (The only work he has ever submitted to a contest) with an Editors Choice Award; All Her Windows (The poem is included in this volume of work) He was invited to recite some of his work at an International Poets Convention in LA, after the accolade.view less
