My name is Aj (Ashley).
I live in the flat part of Colorado with my dogs. I have a B.A. in English literature
from the University of Colorado Denver and a publishing certificate from
Western State Colorado University. Right now, I’m a student in the writing for
children and young adults M.F.A. program at Spalding University. I hope to
become an editor and maybe start my own publishing company.
Other than reading, writing, and reviewing books, I enjoy traveling and doing outdoorsy things. I love to hike, bike, camp, and cross-country ski. I’m also a huge hockey fan.
Five Bookish Facts About Me
1. The first “grown-up”
book I ever read was Stephen King’s The
Tommyknockers. I was 11 years old when I read it, and it changed everything.

2. My favorite author is currently Margaret Atwood.
3. At one point, I owned over 100 books about cults. Yes, I read them all. Yes, I would like to read more, if you have any recommendations.
4. I can listen to music while writing, but I need silence to read.
5. A book has never made me cry (no, not even The Fault In Our Stars).

I don't think I ever cried with a book either! :) I did cry with the The Fault In Our Stars movie :) First blogger I meet that wants to be an editor and start her own publishing company. That is AMAZING! I hope you do!
ReplyDeleteI just read your about me section and can't believe a book has never made you cry. My daughter was reading where "Where the Red Fern Grows" for school and I picked it up to read while she was downstairs with friends. I was sitting in the kitchen crying when she came up to ask for snacks. She just looked at me grabbed a bag of chips and went back down without saying a word. She knows me! LOL
