Paulette Jones, born and nurtured in the city of New Orleans, during the turbulent 1960’s where she attended the public school system. It wasn’t until she was an adult that she realized she had a gift, the gift of storytelling. After reading several novels written by African American authors, a desire was unlocked in her and visions soon followed. She literally put pen to paper and emerged an author. At the completion of her quest she had written her first novel HerStory:Revelations. Seemingly one door closed and because she had to return to the work force, so she put her writings in hiatuses and got on with the days. In 2009 she embarked on a new career that would take her back to a possibility, that she had almost forgotten and if not for Hurricane Katrina she may not have remembered. Paulette Jones was first recognized when three of her stage plays were performed at the Black Repertory Theater in Berkeley, Ca.
