Dystopian Fiction

39 Days After

Thirty-nine days of air. Thirty-nine days of power. Thirty-nine days before Elias Voss runs out of time. After civilization collapses beneath ash, cold, and poisoned sky, Elias survives alone inside a dying relay station. Then a repeating signal begins to knock through the static from somewhere west of the dead zone. Following it means leaving the only shelter he has left — and crossing into the fragile remains of a world that once tried to keep people alive.

The Hidden Chamber Beneath the Pyramid

Some secrets are meant to stay hidden. Others are waiting to be found. When Kyle, Charlotte, Johnny, and Elsa travel to Egypt with their uncle, they expect to explore ancient pyramids and learn about history. What they don't expect is a hidden chamber sealed behind a wall no one else seems to notice. Guided by strange markings, a faint current of air, and their own curiosity, the four children uncover a passage that leads deep beneath the pyramid — but they're not the only ones searching, and not every path leads safely back out.

My Story

Engineer by training, storyteller by nature

DA Jones grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and has been writing ever since high school — a passion sparked by a composition teacher whose influence never faded. After earning a BS in Chemistry from the University of Cincinnati and spending 24 years as a mechanical engineer, life's demands kept writing on the back burner. But the stories were always there, waiting.

Now, with renewed focus and a notebook full of ideas, DA Jones is channeling decades of scientific curiosity, a love of science fiction, and the joy of reading to his two boys into a body of work that spans multiple genres. From dystopian worlds that feel unsettlingly real, to adventure stories designed to hook young readers who've outgrown picture books — every page carries the thoughtful precision of an engineer and the warmth of a father.

The home repair series draws directly from years of hands-on technical expertise, making complex fixes accessible for everyday homeowners. And with 30+ books currently in progress, DA Jones is only just getting started.

"I write the books I want to read — and the books I want my kids to discover."
