"Jones is a gifted author with a talent for sharp, fast-paced prose that keeps the pages turning. Late for Fate moves at a thrilling pace. It's studded with sharp-edged, witty dialogue and quirky characters that stuck with me long after reading. Jones' knack for creating stories that feel familiar but are unique in voice and plot make every read (including Late for Fate!) a great one."

~Kathleen Shoop, best-selling author of the Letter Series and After the Fog

"Ms. Jones has perfectly captured how one moment in time can change a life for both good and bad. Excellent story with well written characters and a terrific (sometimes terrifying) theme. A great read. Highly recommended." - Amazon Review

MY REVIEW OF Late for Fate

Jezebel loved her job as a paralegal. She liked to work on her cases while riding the metro train to work. One day she met Kirk and they shared a connection, but the train crashes before they can learn much about each other. Two weeks later, Kirk calls Jezebel and they start seeing each other. Even though there are red flags galore, Jezebel ignores them and falls in love with Kirk, and soon discovers the train wreck her life has become.

There was so much deceit going on that it made my head spin. I could relate to the klutzy side of Jezebel. She couldn’t help but be a train wreck, even before Kirk entered her life. I think my favorite character was Jezebel’s mother. She was so laid-back and gave a good balance to the rest of the characters.
