🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About A.J. Smith
AJ Smith is an English author of fantasy, horror, and science fiction books. He has been writing tales set in the world of The Long War right from his campus days. Writing stories, crafting characters, and defining worlds became an excellent method of distracting himself from his degree in psychology, sociology, and philosophy, and has been equally distracted ever since. Surprisingly, the maps came first, and later, the world and characters began taking shape in the writing. Since graduating from University, he has worked with troubled children and authored several articles related to youth work and counseling. Writing fantasy books has been therapeutic for him, which makes it possible for him to decide what happens next rather than waiting for the real world to decide.
