Sobre mimI'm an author and editor. My latest book, co-edited with Mark Pirie, is Voyagers: Science Fiction Poetry from New Zealand, an anthology of new and reprinted New Zealand science fiction poetry. You can buy Voyagers from Amazon.com as a paperback or Kindle e-book (search for "Voyagers: Science Fiction Poetry"), or from Fishpond. You can also find out more about Voyagers, and buy it directly from the publisher, at the Voyagers mini-site.



My latest book as an author is short fiction collection Transported, published by Vintage (Random House New Zealand). The publishers' blurb from their Transported page sums this collection up pretty well:

A well-known poet pursues his elusive muse; a Kiwi makes himself indispensable in Oz; a revolutionary fast-food franchise revs up Russia's economy; a racing-car driver is airborne; temperate Otago exports its kiwifruit worldwide; a Frenchman called Foucault puts in the hard yards at an antipodean dairy farm - all while water laps at our feet, our homes, our lives . . . With Tim Jones' stories you should expect the unexpected. This remarkably refreshing collection uses a lively mix of genres, taking readers on flights of fancy, transports of delight, and even occasional trips of nostalgia. Some of the stories are unique ways of looking at the everyday and ordinary, others take us out of this world. They are funny, moving, insightful and, above all, delightfully different.



In case you need any more convincing, "New Zealand Books" (the NZ equivalent of the LRB or NYRB) called Transported "dazzling and highly entertaining" in its review - and who am I to argue with that?

"The New Neighbours", a story from Transported, has recently been selected for inclusion in the Penguin Book of Contemporary New Zealand Short Stories, edited by Paula Morris.

My other recent books are poetry collection All Blacks' Kitchen Gardens and fantasy novel Anarya's Secret, set in the universe of the Earthdawn roleplaying game.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaI started by uploading a selection of books from my library, reflecting my three main areas of reading: science fiction and fantasy, literary fiction (especially Russian and Spanish-language fiction in translation), and poetry - especially New Zealand poetry and European and South American poetry in translation. I've also got a bunch of cricket books, books about Antarctica, and science fiction fanzines. Most of the books listed, I own; books I don't own are tagged with the name of the library from which I borrowed them. Books I've written are tagged but not rated.
