Harvey Jones is the pen name of Jan Harvey and Sian Jones. Both women were born in Wales and live in Barry Island. Harvey is an experienced and well-respected professional carer and has two grown up children, and Jones is an English teacher and a single mother to her grown up son. They like nothing better than taking in the natural beauty of the Welsh countryside and visiting the local beaches. Indeed, Wales has inspired their writing and serves as the setting for their novel, Hook Up, and its sequel, Legacies. As mature women with a lot of life experience, they relished the opportunity to explore something different and enter the world of writing novels.
