In 2006, while working on a PhD on Herbert Allingham, Jones decided to become a writer of adventure stories like the Swallows and Amazons series of Arthur Ransome she had read as a child. Jones has also studied the fiction writing of Margery Allingham's father, Herbert Allingham. Jones's interest in the Allingham family grew she researched Margery Allingham's life and wrote a biography published in 1991. Jones opened a bookshop in Ingatestone, Essex, which she then developed into a small-scale local publishing business, reissuing a Second World War autobiography by crime writer Margery Allingham.

This nautical connection with Ransome, along with numerous pony books, helped to shape a lifelong enthusiasm for books. When she was three years old, her father George Jones bought the wooden sailing ketch Peter Duck, a yacht originally commissioned and owned by children's novelist Arthur Ransome and named for a character in one of his novels. Julia Jones was born in Woodbridge, Suffolk in 1954. Julia Jones, formerly also known as Julia Thorogood, is an English writer, editor and book publisher.
