Eddie Jones

Eddie is an award-winning author of YA fiction. Known for crafting suspenseful mysteries and humorous adventures that captivate young readers, he is celebrated for his witty storytelling and creative world-building. His Caribbean Chronicles series is a time-travel pirate fantasy adventure collection where a young teen goes back in time and changes the present.

The Caden Chronicles is a mystery series built around “monsters” that Eddie believes may have been lifted from the Bible—ghosts, the walking dead, a king turned into a beast (it never says werewolf, but the fur and claws in Daniel stir the imagination), and the drinking of blood to gain life (a perversion of something holy)—naturally lends itself to thoughts of horror. In each case, Nick Caden seeks to debunk the “monster myth” and uncover the truth.

Praised for their wholesome, faith-based, and humorous approach. A seasoned writer, Eddie’s work has earned multiple Selah Awards—”pause and ponder"—for tween/teen YA fiction, the INSPY Award, and the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award.

Outside of writing, Eddie is a devoted father of two boys, an avid sailor, and a pirate at heart who loves to surf. Monday nights, the Pirate Preacher leads a “Jesus Study” in Moore Square, Raleigh, NC. Sundays, you’ll find him in the park and at the bus station passing out food so others may enjoy the abundant life Jesus promised (John 10:10). His books are shipped into prisons and read by countless inmates.
