About A.J.
If you've stumbled upon this page looking for a romance novel, you're likely in the wrong place. While my stories do have an underlying theme of love and sacrifice, they're ripe with dark humor, science fiction, action and suspense.
When I read a new book, whether it's a scifi, or suspense, a thriller or a romcom, I want the words to leap from the page of the novel and slam headfirst into my cranium sensors. I want to be whisked away on an adventure, to be pulled into a story so completely my coffee gets cold. I want the writer to convince me time has stood still until I'm finished with the very last chapter.
I partly blame Dean Koontz for my love of medical science fiction. That man can spin a darkly twisted tale faster than I can throw a knife (and trust me, it's fast).
Part of my passion for writing came from my fascination with the human condition.
What are we willing to do to protect those we love? How far will we go to keep them safe? What is our hard limit, our line in the sand?
SPEKTER was a novel I wrote, and rewrote, and sat aside, and fell in love with years later. Michael Cassidy is the lead male character I had been looking for in other novels by other wonderful writers, but could never quite find, so I decided to bring him to life on page myself. The story just happened to fall into place around him.
Now, LITTLE RAVEN is complete and on the desk of my publisher for edit and review, and I cannot wait to share the next chapter of Michael's story with my readers!
Truthfully, I live vicariously through some of my characters. I mean, who doesn't want to know how to kill someone with the coils in a box spring?
No?
Just me?
Ahem, ok, well, moving on...
I live in Northern Nevada with my family. When I'm not writing I'm learning knife tricks, running and spending as much time outside as my pale skin will allow.
