Hello everyone,
I took some time off work and did ALOT of writing. I think it was almost six thousand words. I am closing in on completing my new novella, Stone Guardian. I'm enjoying it as if it were someone else's work. I think my books write themselves and I'm just the fingers curved over the keyboard anyway.
Stay tuned because I'm getting closer to posting a contest to win free copies of the new book. When I do, you can check here or at www.amirapress.com for the details. I'll keep you posted.
Already I'm mapping out my next project. It's going to be so exciting. But I'm not going to give details until I release Stone Guardian. I can't wait. It'll be hot!
Oh yes, be sure to check out my new pages on the Amira Press site. I have a Q&A and my bio. Some of the bio is a repeat of what I have here, but I've added a few tidbits too.
I like to hear from my readers and make new friends. Feel free to drop me an email at ajcove at comcast dot com. Thanks.

Shift for Hire seems to be my most popular book. Apparently, women can't get enough of shapeshifters. Though I've mostly seen books written where the shifters are able to change into various animals. My shift, Tara, changes to look like different people, females in trouble.
I'm planning at some point soon to start on a sequal to this book and ultimately, I think it will be included in a trilogy. I have this thing for sequals. I'm already wondering how I can continue my Stone Guardian book too. Since I haven't finished it quite yet, that remains to be seen.
I do have a female pirate idea in mind, if anyone wants to let me know if there is any interest there. I think I could probably come up with endless ideas, especially since I'm still new. But I do want to know what my readers want and to deliver that. I am highly entertained by what I write, but my reader's satisfaction is more important. So, let me know what you want. Thanks. |

Hello,
Welcome to my blog. I am A. J. Cove, author of Shift for Hire and soon to be released, Stone Guardian. I can't promise this blog will be interesting as the mere word 'blog' intimidates me to the point that I want to curl up under my bed and suck my thumb like an infant.
But I'm giving it a go and seeing where it will take me. If anyone out there has any suggestions as to how this whole thing should work or if I've already blown it big time, write me a comment. I'm open to learning--mostly. :)
Anyway, my plan for this blog is to update you on my activities, my plans, upcoming contests, books and deals. I'm not new to writing, but am new to public exposure of it, so I'm feeling my way. If you have suggestions and/or comments about what I write, let me know. Also, feel free to let me know what you'd like to see here.
Welcome.
A. J. |
