The Big Change Coming to M/M Romance

It seems that lately, everyone’s a little bit gay.

This was one of the first images that came up when I searched “frat guys.” Figures.

A recent study has been buzzing around the internet claiming that a lot of straight college coeds are having a lot of not-so-straight sexual encounters. Of the college guys surveyed in the study, conducted by Dr. Arielle Kuperberg of UNC Greenboro and Dr. Alicia Walker of Missouri State, one in eight of the respondents whose last encounter was with a man ident...

New Xmas Novella: Hot Mall Santa

Surprise! New holiday-themed novella out now. Come meet the Hot Mall Santa.

You better watch out. You better not cry. Hot Mall Santa is coming to town!

Instead of round and jolly, this year’s mall Santa is chiseled and smoldering. The second he strolls into Oakville Mall wearing sunglasses, stubble, and his Santa hat cocked to the side, Santa gets all the tongues wagging—especially Tom Webster’s. A lowly retail associate at The Décor Store, Tom spends his time chasing a promotion and boss th...

THE TOKEN YANK available now!

The Token Yank is now available!!

This is the first in my new “Expats” series, which chronicles the tales of young guys finding adventure and love in foreign countries.

The Token Yank follows Rafe from Out for the Night on his study abroad adventures in England, though you don’t need any prior Browerton knowledge to jump in. The title comes from an article I read years ago about Laura Linney’s character in Love, Actually, and it’s always stuck with me. This is one of my most personal books, b...

My Books are now on Kindle Unlimited

Exciting news! All of my books are now available on Kindle Unlimited. If you have a subscription, you can read them all for FREE. And you can continue purchasing them as usual on Amazon. You can check out all of my titles under My Books at the top or go straight to my Amazon page.

I’d been hesitating on joining KU for a while because of the whole exclusivity thing, but there’s a whole crush of new readers who I’ll get to reach. I can’t wait!

Out for the Night available now!

The next book in the Browerton series is now out for your enjoyment! Stay warm and spend a few hours away from the news with Coop and Matty. Out for the Night is like 10 Things I Hate About You meets The Big Bang Theory with a splash of 8 Mile — and starring gay guys, obviously. If you love watching jocks and nerds fall in love over robots, rapping, and dry humping, then Out for the Night is for you.

And at the very least, you can salivate over this hottie on the cover.

“For the night, I am...

You Got Scrooged

I love the holidays. Dress me up in red and green and throw me in a department store Christmas display while Bing Crosby is playing on loop. I’m a total sucker for cheesy Christmas movies, especially ones that are inspired by A Christmas Carol.I’m looking at you A Diva’s Christmas Carol andA Muppet Christmas Carol.

(Apparently you can watch all of A Diva’s Christmas Carol on YouTube. Lucky you!)

This year, I finally decided to write my own spin on this famous tale, with a fun twist. If you’ve...

Out of My Mind – coming 9.19.16

Book 3 in the Browerton University series is coming this September. I am psyched to bring you Out of My Mind.

This book.

It nearly sent me out of my mind. I rewrote 3/4 of it, threw out characters and subplots, and redidthe entire back half twice. It was a slog, but I am so proud of this book. I pushed myself more than ever before to make this book shine.I loved exploring Mac and Gideon’s relationship from friends to enemies to roommates to friends again to something more. The book is about l...

New Author Logo

It’s all about branding, they say. Well, I’m leaning in to my marketing side. I wanted to do something to tie my current and future books together. So I present to you…the A.J. Truman official logo!

I’m still figuring out how I’ll incorporate this into future materials, but I love the sexiness of a man in a suit. I’ll eventually stop writing about guys in college and move onto real-world adults, so this logo is a step in that direction. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
