ⓘ About J.M. Hall

J.M. Hall is the writing pseudonym of Jon Hall that is best known for his debut novel “A Spoonful of Murder.” The author was born in Yorkshire and except for a few short interludes, he has always lived there. Before he became a fiction author, he had been writing for radio and the stage for many years. In fact, he is the creator of “Trust,” the critically acclaimed radio series on the BBC. When J.M. Hall is not penning his blockbuster novels, he usually engages in practical activities such as marking his pile of assignments or organizing a playground rota. Most of the things he writes include writing coherently, succinctly, and quickly. Given his many years of writing, he ultimately decided to pen fiction works as he had always been a huge fan of fiction.
