Allen Morris Jones

Allen Morris Jones (1970 -) is an American author, editor, publisher, and designer.[1] Born in Charleston, West Virginia, he moved with his family to Livingston, Montana, at the age of twelve. His first published book, A Quiet Place of Violence: Hunting and Ethics in the Missouri River Breaks, considered the act of hunting in the context of the ethical great traditions (Rawls and Kant, Bentham and Mill), and is still one of the very few works to view hunting through that particular lens.[2] His novel, Last Year's River (Houghton Mifflin, 2001) was a highly applauded love story set on a dude ranch in 1920s Wyoming.[3] He co-edited the anthology The Best of Montana's Short Fiction (The Lyons Press, 2004) [4] and The Big Sky Reader: A Treasury of the Best Writing from Big Sky Journal.[5] His novel, A Bloom of Bones, will be published on November 15, 2016 by Ig Publishing.[6]

Jones is currently Editor in Chief of the magazine Big Sky Journal [7] as well as Publisher of Bangtail Press.[8] In addition to the acquisition and development of Bangtail's titles, he also creates the cover and text designs.[9] He previously worked as an acquisitions editor for Globe Pequot Press, during which time he acquired and edited more than one hundred titles.[10]

He is currently married, and lives in Bozeman, Montana, with his wife and young son.[1]
