Jones is the editor of classic restoration projects, beginning with Alexandre Dumas’ Prince of Thieves and Robin Hood the Outlaw (Reginetta Press). Jones’ objective is to preserve the original wording of beloved manuscripts before time and re-telling corrupt them.
Jones’ debut novel, Hook & Jill, is a serious parody of Peter and Wendy, questioning the premise: is it desirable to remain a child, or is it a greater adventure, after all, to grow up? In gratitude to J.M. Barrie, Jones included Peter and Wendy: The Restored Text (Reginetta Press) in her restoration program. Modern publishers have tampered with the story, and Jones has returned Barrie’s novel to its 1911 first edition text.
Graduated from the University of Illinois, Andrea Jones studied Oral Interpretation of Literature, with a Literature minor. Her earlier career was in television production. Jones is known around the world as “Capitana Red-Hand” of Under the Black Flag, a web-based pirate brotherhood.
The first two books of the Hook & Jill Saga, Hook & Jill and Other Oceans, won a dozen literary awards and the hearts of their many readers. This volume, Other Islands: Book Three of the Hook & Jill Saga, explores forms of generosity, both usual and unusual.
Within these novels, Jones deepens and explores J.M. Barrie’s famous and infamous characters, and re-imagines the Neverland for grown-up readers who long to return there. Five books are charted for this series.
