Rob Jones is a poet, musician, two-time #1 Amazon bestselling author—and happily for us, a lover of the Inklings. His literary accomplishments include two books of poetry—The Hidden Work: Poems Inspired by the Writings of C. S. Lewis and Re-enchanted—as well as two children’s books, Here Comes the Night and Poetic Pete, and a new adult romance novel, Bad Boys of the Kingdom. His poetry has been featured in Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal and Cultivating Oaks Press.

All of this is offered with beautiful humility and grace. Plus, if you are anything like me, you are going to love his voice. Also, he reads some of his poetry for us :)…
