Robert T Jones

Robert T Jones is an author, ancient military historian, wildlife philanthropist, green business creator, and hobby farmer living in East Tennessee. With an intense focus on making the world around him better, Robert designs ventures that have the ability to leave a positive lasting impression. Robert constantly seeks to push his own personal boundaries in order to make himself as well-rounded as possible individually and in business. As an author, Robert pursues writing in multiple genres so that he can have a truly diverse readership. Whether this means writing short stories for children, thrillers for adults, fantasy, or an academic audience through his research in the ancient world, Robert loves the challenge of moving from one genre to another and interacting with assorted groups of people. Robert’s debut novel through Southern Yellow Pine Publishing, Gargaphia: Where History Means Murder takes the reader on an unexpected thrill ride where studying the past can bring about a devastating future. Staterus: The Sons of Time immerses the reader in a fantasy journey where fallen heroes are conjured to use their newfound magical powers to balance a world teetering on destruction.

In the same Caribbean evening, Robert caught three touchdown passes, watched a volcano erupt live, nursed a dive-induced fire coral wound, and had his car robbed. He has renovated an 1820’s tavern where bottles once quenched the thirst of US Presidents’ and pistols were hidden in the fireplaces. He can talk with an auctioneer’s cadence, string a tennis racquet, do physical therapy on an owl, and once sold cars so that he could buy a truck. He has felt the joy of a bald eagle kissing him on the lips and lectured on business sustainability in Nova Scotia. Robert has defeated lymphoma, no longer has a gallbladder, and has been called color confused. He has lived and his many scars to prove it.
