Hello everyone, I’m Pauline Baird Jones, a USA TODAY Bestselling Author affectionately known as Perilous Pauline. I adopted the name after I found out on Twitter that Goodreads says that I perished in 1999. Since then, I have embraced my quirky sense of humor and channeled it into my stories, my Facebook Pages, and my YouTube Channel where I love to write and perform under the enchanting title of Dead Author Live.
I have to admit that both my Perilous Pauline and Dead Author Live reflect the fact that I’m one of those who never cared for reality.
When I’m not sharing the beautiful photographs that my husband has taken, chasing after my grandchildren, or expanding my Lego city, I’m off wandering among the genres, rampaging like Godzilla and mixing peril and humor into my romances.
Pauline’s books have garnered the following awards:
USA Today Bestseller, Embrace the Passion: Pets in Space 3, two SFR Galaxy Awards in 2018!
Arachnophobia Award for Creepiest Villain
Lost Valyr: Project Enterprise 7 received a 2018 SFR Galaxy Award. Arachnophobia Award for Creepiest Villain (“…has one of the quirkiest romantic couples I had the pleasure to read about in 2018.”)
