ABOUT

As a child raised in the Southwest United States on the border of one of the largest oil fields in the country, A.J. Stopani was a lonely nerd. With no interest in rodeo or baseball, he spent his time reading. His heroes were fictional characters and great novelists. It wasn’t long before he started scratching out his own stories.

He has since embraced his geekieness and has set to work turning his writing hobby into something more than a hobby.  While he originally wrote for adults, he has since realized he is still fifteen at heart, so he now focuses on writing for young adults.

A.J. lives in the beautiful city of Colorado Springs, where all the exciting outdoor activities are wasted on him, though the ever-changing views fire his creativity like few things can. He teaches full time and spends his free time playing with his wife, children, brothers, sisters, friends, nephews and little nieces.
