Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.
Hi, I’m AJ Renee. I’m a romance author, mom, and Air Force wife. We currently live in Virginia. I love relaxing with a good book, binging a show, or playing a video game.
When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?
The first and last books are the hardest. The first requires a lot of building but the last needs to make sure it feels fresh.
When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I try to use real life. Twist things up and spit them out all shiny and new.
Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?
Keep going, don’t stop, even if you only do it for yourself.
On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?
When I can focus, about three hours with about two to three breaks.
Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.
The first one, Sofia in Widower’s Aura. She will always have the favorite spot as she was created to offer a friend who’d passed her happily ever after.
What is your definition of success?
When I figure it out, I’ll let you know.
What are your social links?
