P.J. Jones received the Readers' Favorite Gold Medal Award for True Crime in 2022 as co-author of The Evil I Have Seen: Memoirs of Detective Lt. Robert (Robbo) Davidson. The true-crime non-fiction received accolades from readers and critics alike, chronicling Detective Davidson's four-decade career in Louisiana law enforcement.
Mendocino Jones in No Place for the Weak at Heart is Jones' debut fiction, a romantic mystery suspense novel set in the rugged country of far West Texas.
Jones brings decades of experience working as a crime reporter to her stories. "None of my characters are based on any one person. They're all composites of West Texans loved, lost, or loathed, who are a breed unto themselves.
"Life is different west of the Callahan Divide, where the wind never rests and the sun seldom retreats; where rain is a blessing never to be taken for granted, except when it comes as a nightmare swelling long-dry riverbeds into demons that devour everything and everyone along their paths. You have to live West Texas to love it. Harsh country. Rough people with sunburned faces, calloused hands, and indomitable spirits."
PJ Jones doesn’t just take fiction and make it funny. First she bludgeons it, butchers it, pulverizes it, and then regurgitates the indigestible parts onto the page. So if you are bold enough to click on that purchase button, just be warned; if your laugh-o-meter is set to prude, not crude, and you have high literary standards, or ANY standards at all, you will be sadly disappointed, plus you may vomit a little in your mouth.
If you are ready to take a jaunt through low-brow inane prose, join Elizabeth Bennet and her vampire family as they disgrace a once-esteemed novel while feasting on toad-faced suitors, servants and orphans. Mmmmm.
Thank goodness for Mr. Darcy, who tries to steer Elizabeth back on script, and preserve whatever dignity is left of Jane Austen’s good name, while at the same time, salivating over Elizabeth Bennet’s huge breasts.
Included in this shameless satire is more rip-snortin’ good fun, a collection of eight short paranormal parodies: The Guide to Immortal Sex; The PMS Vampire, Werewolf and Zombie Handbook; Melvin the Vacuum Salesman Zombie; and a few other nameless, tasteless short stories.
What are you waiting for? Either buy the book or get out now before you suffer permanent brain damage.
*** Praise for Pride and Prejudice and Vampires ***
From Jane Austen: This book motivated me to return from beyond the veil of mortality so that I might smack PJ Jones upside the head.
From PJ Jones’s neighbor’s dead cat: I can’t believe I wasted one of my nine lives reading this book.
From Melvin the zombie: Brains. Books. Brains.
From the flasher in the Safeway parking lot: Come a little closer. I’ve got something else for you to read.
From the sanitation truck driver in PJ’s neighborhood: I knew there was a strange smell coming from PJ’s house.
