Patchree Jones
Speaker
As a girl, Patchree Jones grew up watching Thai dramas with her mom and dreamt of being a playwright. While life took her on a different path, her love of stories never faltered. In fact, she truly believes that it takes a fighter to share one's vision with the world, and Patchree hopes to blaze the trail for all readers to go after their dreams unapologetically.
Currently, she has published two children's books: SKYLIGHT, book one in the Mehk Light trilogy, and THE WHITE ELEPHANT OF HIMMAPAN, an original Thai folklore chapter book. Patchree was recently named a Bookstagram 2025 Awards finalist for Children's Author of the Year. Her first story in the adult fiction sphere will be published in the upcoming IN THE WORDS OF A FLOWER Anthology with Inked in Gray. Patchree Jones is Thai-American author and currently lives in Southern California with her husband, two children, and one lazy dog.
