Welcome to the blog of Mary Brock Jones, SF author.

I also have a website, here


I write science fiction. Some dark, some not so dark. Some short, some longer, some very long. Some have a happy ending, others definitely not.

I also write NZ historical romance novels.They always end happily, even if the journey can get quite bumpy.

It's a nice mix.

SpecFicNZ meet up

Today I went to the first Auckland meet up for SpecFicNZ writers. The weather was real Auckland summer weather - pouring with rain and atrocious. The cafe was packed. The coffee was good. But most important -  the people and the meeting were brilliant. Six of us turned up and we talked about so much.  And I didn't once have to stop myself from saying anything for fear that others would think I was weird, not all there or just plain deluded. They got it. They got what I do. That is so special. Roll on the next one and thank you very much, Paul and Grant, for organising it all.
