A former aerospace technology writer who spent time in the U.S. Army as a Journalist and Psychological Operations Specialist, Jones currently works in law enforcement. In Shifted, he brings a lifetime of knowledge and experience to bear. Whether writing about topics as disparate as the Gordian domain of subatomic physics, or the bleak, hidden life of battered children, Jones keeps it real for the reader.

Shifted introduces the reader to Mark Arsenault, a child slowly coming to grips with the fact that neither he nor the outside world are what they seem. As he grows up pondering his unearthly nature, he stands precipitously balanced between superstition and science, between human and inhuman states, a hovering spectral entity continually warning him of a coming apocalypse. Pitted against a dysfunctional environment, brutal parents, sinister government agents and corrupt cops, Mark struggles to find his place in both reality and in an asymmetrical love triangle as time runs out for the universe.

Jones' writes visually and compellingly; his characters are complex flesh-and-blood people, as genuine and ordinary as someone the reader might meet on the street—or in their nightmares. The narrative hits the ground running and accelerates briskly. Along the way, the reader will encounter mind-bending twists and surprises as the plot races to its fiery conclusion.

After reading Shifted, the reader will likely need to catch their breath for a moment before wondering if they will ever see reality the same way as before.
