MJ Stone is a South African novelist, currently based in Brooklyn, NY

His first novel, The Ghostwriter, represents the culmination of ideas formed at the University of Cape Town, where he studied English Literature and Psychology, with a focus on dreaming. It developed over the subsequent years, following him from his hometown to a new life in Moscow, where he would meet his American-born wife. It shadowed him home, to Barbados and finally to New York, where he would eventually finish and prepare it for release, more than a decade after starting it.

MJ Stone currently resides in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with his wife and day job. He continues to write. His second novel, a modern love story told through the lens of a sci-fi thriller, is presently titled Ark.
