During this time he wrote his first novel, The Contestants. In 2005, Jones' 10-page story "Jenifer" from Creepy #63 (July 1974), drawn by Bernie Wrightson, became the basis for filmmaker Dario Argento's segment of Masters of Horror, a Showtime television series The author lives in Kansas City, Missouri.
