Hi, and welcome to my official website.
If you were looking for Tim Wynne-Jones, the nuclear physicist, I’m sorry but you’ve been led cruelly astray. This is the official website of the other Tim Wynne-Jones, the one who writes books, primarily for kids. I’ve written over thirty books so far, for kids of all ages, and not one of them is on nuclear physics. I might become a nuclear physicist, mind you, if this writing thing doesn’t pan out. Or a cook. I like cooking better than I like solving equations involving the speeds of sub atomic particles. They are so fast! Anyway, let’s just drop this. I’m not quite sure why you brought up the whole nuclear physics thing in the first place. I’m a writer. I write books: picture books, middle grade novels, young adult novels – that kind of thing. Look around the website and you’ll get an idea of what I’m talking about. And thanks for dropping over. No, seriously. I know how busy you are. How about I go make us a nice dish of paella, or something? Maybe some Pad Thai? Take your time. I’ll be in the kitchen. (Or, who knows, maybe in my secret underground lab…) |

What they’re saying about
The Uninvited
“A nervy trice-knotted pretzel of a plot that reads partly like a sexy paean to creativity and partly like a choral scream.”
-- Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked
“The Uninvited is a terrific book. Tim Wynne-Jones has always been one of the most perceptive and truth-telling writers about families and painful complexities; here the whole story is overlaid with a tension and mystery that makes it compelling to follow and impossible to put down.”
-- Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials
“Atmospheric, seductive and scary, The Uninvited has a powerful undercurrent that will keep you in its grips until the very end.”
-- Kenneth Oppel, author of Airborn
“Against a backlit, finely detailed landscape with scraps of myth floating in the trees above the water, Tim Wynne-Jones’s young people gawk and blunder and swear around, laughing things off, trying to work things out, proceeding towards OMG, how is this all going to end? You think you know what’s happening to them, but you don’t, not yet – no, not now, either. Keep reading. Go right to the end with them.”
-- Margo Lanagan, author of Tender Morsels |
