Name: A.J. Write
How long have you been published? I've been published for just a little over a year and a half.
What's the worst part about being published? I couldn't say what the worst part is about being published. There's plenty of low points but you learn from them. So I couldn't say what the worst is.
What's the best part about being published? Everything that comes with being published is the best part. Even the craziness within the industry.
Are you self published or did you go through a publishing company? I go through a publishing company called Lucinda John Presents.
*What are the highs, if any? The highs for me personally is that I have absolutely 100% control over my art. I come up with my covers and I write what I want, however I want.
*What are the lows, if any? No lows because I can do what I want.

Was it/were they an easy write for you? None of my books are easy to write. They get harder to write actually. The more you grow with your writing the harder it gets because you try to do more or something different with each New book.
What's the hardest part about writing a book? The hardest part about writing a book is writing it. Making sure it flows, remembering the characters and keeping up with everything you want to have going on.
What's the easiest part about writing a book? The easiest part about writing a book is finishing it. When you get to the end is the most accomplishing thing that can happen to an author.
Where can interested readers purchase their copy of your book(s)? For kindle readers, my books can be found on Amazon. Paperbacks can be found on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Also, readers can go to my website to order paperbacks.

What's the hardest part about writing a book? My tendency is to write my characters into a corner and then say “OK, you guys, what happens now?” Sometimes they take longer to figure it out than I’d like.
What's the easiest part about writing a book? I have a wealth of crimes and evidence of man’s inhumanity to man to draw from for my stories.
Where can interested readers purchase their copy of your book(s)? All of my books are available on Amazon. All the Jubilant Falls novels and all the Fitz novels are also available on Nook, Apple, and other subscriber services, but the Anne Hunter Nash is only available at this time on Amazon.
