p. w. jones knows firsthand that no two goodbyes are the same. Both of her parents chose medical assistance in dying—a legal option in Canada, where she lives—while her in-laws, believing they’d live forever, faced the challenges of dementia in their final years. These deeply personal experiences inspired jones to explore end-of-life issues through fiction, blending warmth, wit, and compassion to spark meaningful conversations about death and dignity.

A scientist by training but a storyteller at heart, jones honed her craft through formal writing and has previously authored several technical works.

 

Remember, You Must Die is her debut novel. She lives with her husband and their dog in the foothills of Alberta.
