Julie Victoria Jones (born 1963) is a British author of fantasy.
She was born 1963[1] in Liverpool, England, as the daughter of a pub owner. In her youth she worked as a bar tender and for a record label in Liverpool. She lives in San Diego, California, where she initially ran an export business and later occupied a position as marketing director.[2][3] The current publishers of J. V.

The manuscript that was to become the first novel in the Book of Words trilogy was submitted as Immortal Longings to Warner Books in 1993. In a joint essay, The Road to a First Novel, J. V. Jones and Betsy Mitchell describe the editing process that followed the arrival of the manuscript in the publisher's slush pile.[5] The novel was published in 1995 as The Baker's Boy. The Book of Words trilogy was completed in 1997 and followed by a standalone novel, The Barbed Coil, in the same year. Her Sword of Shadows series was launched in 1999 and is to contain five books.
