Philip Gwynne Jones
Agent: Donald Winchester
Philip Gwynne Jones was born in Swansea and spent twenty years in the IT industry before realising he was congenitally unsuited to it. This led him to move to Venice in 2012 in search of a simpler life. He was wrong about the “simpler” bit.
His debut novel, THE VENETIAN GAME, was a Waterstones thriller of the month, whilst VENETIAN GOTHIC was chosen by The Literary Review as one of the crime novels of 2020. The first of a new series – THE MAGUS OF SICILY – debuted in July 2025; whilst further Venetian novels are in the pipeline.
He lives in Venice with his wife Caroline and a modestly friendly cat called Mimi. In his spare time, he enjoys cooking, old horror films, and listens to far too much Italian Progressive Rock.
Philip is published by Little, Brown in the UK under the Constable/Little, Brown imprint.
