From the Author

Review quotes "I read Jones's first story, Rat Up a Drainpipe, and couldn't put it down. I laughed out loud, and felt unusually good. It was fast paced and full of quirky incidents. When it ended I wanted more.... Jones's bag of literary tricks is witty and refreshingly humorous." - Jessica Le Bas, Nelson Mail "Tim Jones' Transported is a pleasant surprise. None of the tales have that kind of super-seriousness about them that's typical of NZ short stories. Instead, they're an intriguing mix of tongue-in-cheek, subtle humour, history turned inside out, and sci-fi." - Mike Crowl, Bookstove.com "One of the essential ingredients in a short story is its power to surprise; to produce the unexpected. I derive a great deal of satisfaction from reading a collection that does so with a flourish. Most of the stories in this collection finished with a satisfying element of doubt, ensuring the stories linger in the mind." - Mandy Evans, Marlborough Express "Jones goes from strength to strength and this is a marked advance from 'Extreme Weather Events'; his earlier book. This book is highly recommended, get hold of a copy and enjoy." - Trevor Reeves, Southern Ocean Review
