M. K. Jones

M K Jones - Mary - was born in South Wales, but moved around the UK and Europe, as a student, then a Teacher, a short stint as a holiday rep in Austria, then an HR manager, before settling near Conwy in North Wales where she now lives close to her two grown up children. Her passion for genealogy began when her mother first began to research her own Irish immigrant family. Mary helped out with the on line researching and became hooked. She now undertakes research projects for friends and family. The idea for a genealogy mystery novel came about on a train journey between London and South Wales. That idea became Three Times Removed. Having discovered via DNA tests that she is 95% Celt (Mainly Irish and Welsh) Mary is currently in touch with a number of 'cousins', in the UK and the US and continues to research her own Irish ancestry. She is a member of the Society of Genealogists and her own local FH society. There are now 8 books in the Maze series and Number 9 should have a first draft completed by Christmas and be ready for publication in early 2025.

Mary has now published 3 book in a new genre, cosy crime mystery. The first is called "All Gone". The second is "Emily and Star" and the third is "The 9am Dog." Book 4 is in planning.

Finally, Mary has co-authored the first book in a new series - The Newshound Mysteries - called "Death on a Gravestone", with former Cardiff Detective Officer, John F Wake. All of Mary's books are available on Amazon worldwide.
