Hello I'm A.J.
Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. I am genuinely thrilled at the prospect of connecting with you and delving deeper into your passions and interests. Whether you have a penchant for novels that you just can't put down, audiobooks that transport you to another world with their captivating narratives, or films that you find utterly mesmerizing, I am eager to learn all about them. If you happen to be a fellow writer, I would be absolutely delighted to forge a connection and perhaps share insights, inspirations, and experiences with you. Your visit truly means a lot to me, and I look forward to embarking on this journey of discovery together.

My Story
From an early age, I discovered a profound passion for the art of writing, a pursuit that has blossomed into a rewarding career as both a traditionally published author and a produced screenwriter. My journey was nurtured by a graduate degree in writing, film, and television, which provided me with a solid foundation to collaborate with major networks. Throughout my career, I have worn multiple hats, including those of an editor, a film consultant, and a screenwriting judge, enriching my experience and broadening my perspective within the industry.
My creativity is particularly sparked by the enchanting world of mystical creatures from Folklore, and I find immense joy in weaving tales that bring these legendary beings to life. In 2024, driven by a desire to further explore and share such narratives, I took a significant step by establishing my own publishing house, Faelight Press. This endeavor has allowed me to curate and publish works that resonate with my love for the fantastical, while also providing a platform for other writers with similar passions to showcase their unique voices.
