The Half Life of Joshua Jones
Joshua Jones’s life is falling apart: he’s just lost his job, his wife and his flat. But on the precipice of homelessness and defeat, he meets a beguiling stranger... Angela, an impulsive femme fatale, has also reached a low point. Seeking refuge in each other’s arms, they share a moment of reckless tenderness before she steps quite deliberately into the path of an oncoming bus. As Angela lies in a coma, Josh—determined to find out who she really is and to explain her suicidal act—pretends that he is her boyfriend, inextricably binding their fates. But as his obsession grows, so does the danger of his situation. Suspecting he is being followed, and acting ever more erratically, he begins to question his own sanity until the discovery of Angela’s real identity finally reveals a chilling truth... In this sensitively rendered, shockingly unpredictable psychological drama, acclaimed novelist Danny Scheinmann reminds us that before we can connect with others, we must first understand ourselves.
Local Fires
Local Fires sees debut writer Joshua Jones turn his acute focus to his birthplace of Llanelli, South Wales. Sardonic and melancholic, joyful and grieving, these multifaceted stories may be set in a small town, but they have reach far beyond their locality. From the inertia of living in an ex-industrial working-class area, to gender, sexuality, toxic masculinity and neurodivergence, Jones has crafted a collection versatile in theme and observation, as the misadventures of the town' s inhabitants threaten to spill over into an incendiary finale.

Oliver, a depressed London film student in search of meaning and beauty, visits his coffee guzzling grandfather in the Scottish highlands. With the old man's help, he discovers Mordecai and Esther⸺and the answers to so much more. WARNING: this is not your grandmother's sanitised, rose-petalled Esther. Read the scripture-saga as told by a Scottish grandfather to his grandson, Oliver, in a potent blend of dry humour, robust theology, and dark storytelling⸺the first in the Oliver Anderson Trilogy. 'Joshua's books pack a deep punch, leaves you unable to put them down, and deliver fantastic humour!' -Simcha Nathan, Israeli author of Awakened
