Somewhere in Between

I’m Larniece Jones.

I’ve been a poet for as long as I can remember. Long before I ever imagined writing a novel, I was filling notebooks with poems, stories, observations, and questions in an attempt to understand the world around me and the life unfolding within me.

I wear many titles—author, poet, wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, friend—but none of them tell the whole story. At my core, I’m a woman with a curious mind, a tender heart, and more questions than answers.

Much of my life has been spent trying to understand people and the relationships that connect us. I’m fascinated by the ways love shapes us, the wounds we carry, the stories we inherit, and the choices that define who we become. I’ve known joy and heartbreak, certainty and doubt, strength and brokenness. I’ve spent years searching for healing only to discover that what I was truly seeking was wholeness.

That journey continues.

I don’t write because I have life figured out.

I write because I don’t.

Writing has always been the way I process, explore, question, grieve, heal, and make meaning of my experiences. It is how I untangle complicated emotions, wrestle with difficult questions, and connect the pieces of my own story.

Over the years, I’ve learned that the things we struggle with most are often the things we have in common. Beneath our different circumstances, many of us are asking the same questions, carrying similar wounds, and searching for the same sense of peace, purpose, and belonging.

My work reflects that search.

Whether through fiction, poetry, or personal reflection, I’m interested in the spaces where life refuses easy answers—the places where growth, grace, love, forgiveness, and understanding are often found.

When I’m not writing, I’m usually observing, reflecting, asking questions, or finding inspiration in ordinary moments that reveal something deeper about the human experience.

Thank you for being here.
