Fun bio:

Pauline Baird Jones reads across genres, so it shouldn’t have surprised when her writing went cross genre. Thankfully she does not need to understand cross genre-ing to do it, though she does concede it is a bit whacky for a confirmed hermit to write about crossing space and time. 

She began her writing career penning romantic suspense (because fictional murder doesn’t get you strip searched) but she had a secret longing to ramp up the spills, chills and daring do.

Her first novel, The Spy Who Kissed Me (aka Pig in a Park) was the first digital-only release to be nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice award and her book, The Last Enemy was the first eBook to win a Romantic Time Reviewer’s Choice award. Her books have also garnered another Romantic Time Reviewer’s choice award, a Dorothy Parker Award, a Dream Realm Award, a Bronze IPPY, and two Epic Book Awards.

Pauline planned to continue writing romantic suspense and humorous mystery, committing fictional mayhem on her characters, but a funny thing happened on the way to finishing Out of Time. This time travel to World War II was suspenseful, but it also had lots of action and high adventure. And she liked it. And she got to keep committing fictional mayhem on her characters. Win-win. 

She wrote The Key, sure it was an action and adventure romance—and it was—but someone pointed out it was also science fiction romance. Wait a minute. Could it be that she’d been mixing fiction into her science since high school? (Oops, sorry science teachers!) Hmm, why not go where she hasn’t gone before? So she did. 

The Key was the first in her Project Enterprise series, which will conclude with #6, Kicking Ashe.
