A. J. wrote her first novel at twenty-two, but pretty much carried a notepad and pen wherever she went since she was little. For her, good writing equals good story-telling, bringing a ramshackle bunch of characters to life and weaving a fantastic tale with well-written words and a well-placed dash of romance. 

She currently lives in Nevada with her husband, six year old daughter, sixteen year old stepson, and their senior pooch. When not outside soaking up the warmth of a sunny, cloudless sky, or writing, she and the husband spend their time in the kitchen creating mouthwatering dishes for friends and family.
