Garth Jones was born in Cheshire, England in 1948. He was a pupil at the King's School, Macclesfield and a student at King's College, London. Despite ultimately studying for a degree in physics he was prone to winning the English and Art prizes at school.
He has written several science fiction novels, of which Sunspot is the only one to be published so far (by Soft Editions Ltd.). More may be forthcoming and completed once he has reached retirement.
Other writing includes a Wikipedia article on his Great Uncle, Alfred Garth Jones, the once eminent artist and illustrator.
