À propos des auteurs

Blanche was born and raised on what is now known as Magnolia Farm, the location where her debut novel, Where the Wild Violets Grow, takes place. It is located at the end of Hull's Neck, four miles from the little town of Edwardsville, VA. The farm looks across the fields to where the Potomac River meets the Chesapeake Bay, on the Northern Neck of Virginia. Her father, Hugh Jones, son of Fuller Jones, went to business school, barber school, and ended up farming like his father and grandfather had done before him. Her mother taught school most of her life. Blanche had two older brothers that she adored and they taught her at age five how to swim, at age six how to shoot, and later how to drive a tractor and nipper oysters. They also taught her how to hypnotize chickens. In other words, the important things in life! She married her high school sweetheart and they were together for sixty years until his death. They had two daughters that also live on Magnolia Farm, which remains in the Jones family. Blanche completed her debut novel at the tender age of eighty-two.
