Hi,
I'm Jon.  Welcome to my website.  As you probably guessed from the wording on my favorite mug, I'm a writer. 

My debut novel, 
Fur-Face, came out as an eBook from Echelon Press on June 1st, 2010 - that's me celebrating the moment in the picture.  I also write short stories - mostly flash fiction. 

Feel free to have a look around.  You can usually find me online at my main blog,
An Englishman in New Jersey, but I'm also on Facebook, Twitter and a few other places on the web.  Drop by any time.  I'd be glad to hear from you.

Take care,

Jon Gibbs
