From TV control rooms to cosmic battles—Aspry Jones’ debut Protectors of the Light Crown turns fantasy/sci-fi into a pulse-pounding, cinematic ride.

(PRUnderground) May 21st, 2025

After 25 years behind the scenes of some of New York City’s most dynamic television productions, Aspry Jones has stepped into a bold new spotlight—this time as an author. His debut novel, Protectors of the Light Crown, a thrilling sci-fi fantasy adventure, was released in December 2024 and has already earned critical acclaim and a growing fan base.

Jones delivers an electrifying tale that transports readers into a richly imagined universe, filled with high-stakes conflict, mystical forces, and unforgettable, multi-ethnic characters. Protectors of the Light Crown weaves cinematic detail with emotional depth, creating a reading experience as vivid as a live broadcast.

“I spent decades helping others tell their stories from behind the scenes,” says Jones. Now, I’m using the written word to share the worlds that have lived in my imagination for years.”

Jones’ background is as fascinating as his fiction. Over a distinguished career in news, sports, and financial reporting, he held technical and managerial roles ranging from morning show supervisor to live broadcast engineer. His command of multi-camera production, sound design, and real-time storytelling informs the pacing and structure of his literary work—making Protectors of the Light Crown not just a book, but an experience.

Now retired from the broadcasting industry, Jones is fully focused on his next creative chapter. With his first novel already making waves in the sci-fi fantasy world, readers can expect more imaginative, emotionally rich stories from this rising literary voice.

Protectors of the Light Crown is available now on Amazon and other major booksellers.
