Nettie P. Jones (1941-) is an award winning writer and educator who is best known for her novels Fish Tales (1984) and Mischief Makers (1989, 1991). Jones is retired from New York University, where she developed and taught innovative courses at the Gallatin School on subjects such as literature, society and writing for over a decade. She also taught at City University of New York, Wayne State University, Michigan Technological University, Essex County College and Boricua College. Inspired by the Caribbean Sea, Jones spends a great deal of time in Jamaica writing her next novel. Both Fish Tales and Mischief Makers received critical acclaim upon their release. For the historical record, it must be noted Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison was the editor of Fish Tales when Morrison worked as an editor for Random House. Intrigued by the intellect of scholar, writer, cultural historian and poet, Glenda R. Taylor, Jones contributed a Foreword to Taylor ’s forthcoming book, Herstory: Unearthing An American past (2015).
