More About the Author

Sonia Harrison Jones has a PhD in Romance Languages and Literatures from Harvard, and chaired the Spanish Dept at Dalhousie University for many years. She wrote a beginning Spanish textbook ("Spanish One") that was adopted by over 100 universities in the US and Canada, and a biography of the well-loved Argentine writer, "Alfonsina Storni." After moving to Nova Scotia she and her husband bought a cow in an unguarded moment, which led to the development of a multi-million dollar yogurt industry in the Maritime provinces. She wrote two books about their experiences ("It All Began With Daisy," and "Daisy and Goliath"), after which she wrote an intriguing family memoir ("The Primrose Path") about her famous grandfather, the photographer Percy Pond, who documented the Gold Rush in Alaska. It also introduces her father, Kay Harrison, the Managing Director of Hollywood's Technicolor Films in London, Paris, and Rome. "Of Mice and Moose Calls" is a collection of poignant, humorous articles published in "The Banner." Her latest book is a thriller/mystery called "Cloning Jesus," which features science and religion in a fresh new look at who we are, why we're here, and where we're going. The Joneses have two daughters (a physician and an artist). They claim (the parents, not the daughters) that they are now enjoying the last of life for which the first was made.
