AJ grew up in the small town of Aberdeen, Washington, where she discovered her love for family, community, and the thrill of adventure.
Her unstoppable drive has fueled her journey to write her second novel, even when others told her it wasn’t possible. Whether it’s overcoming challenges or chasing dreams, AJ is living proof that persistence and heart can turn the impossible into reality.
Above all, AJ treasures her roles as a wife and mom to two wonderful children—a part of her life she cherishes most. She rises before the sun to write, fueled by tea, chocolate, and her love for storytelling. Writing may not yet be her full-time career, but it is her truest passion and a way to share stories of resilience and hope.
DonnaMae is AJ’s second book in her series, continuing the heartfelt, inspiring timeline that began with MaryLou. Through her books, AJ invites readers into stories of strength, love, and never giving up, just as she strives to do every day.
