Inspired at an early age by the works of Jack Chalker and Timothy Zahn, AJ is a part time freelance writer and full time computer geek. He holds a B.A. in Computer Science and is hard at work on both a prequel to Majesty’s Offspring titled Age of Majesty and a new alternate history, paranormal/sci-fi novel called Soul Census.

AJ resides in a cave surrounded by figments of his imagination who guard him from human contact so that he can continue to focus his energy on his writing, doing 3D modeling and art, and sometimes even playing a video game or two.

When not in front of the keyboard, AJ enjoys spending time with his family, biking, running, traveling and restaurant-hopping--- sometimes all in the same day.

War of Shadows

Hello readers! I realize it’s been a while since my last post, but as you can imagine, it’s been an ‘interesting’ 2020. I guess the one advantage of being locked down during this pandemic is it has forced me to refocus on my writing– something that I fear I have been neglecting. 

To that end, I have been working pretty hard on War of Shadows. I think fans of Soul Census will definitely enjoy this s
