Welcome to my page, and thank you so much for stopping by.

​

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember, but only recently began actively pursuing my dream of becoming a full time author. Growing up, I spent much of my time alone, losing myself in thought and escaping to fantastical worlds filled with magic and mayhem. These were the worlds I built in my imagination, piece by piece.

​

As a teen, I became deeply introspective. I started to reflect on how my actions impacted the people around me. It was during that time that I adopted the mantra: Do No Harm to Others. I’ve carried that belief into adulthood, knowing that our actions, words, tone, and body language all carry weight.

​

Today, I’m a full time author. I absolutely love what I do. I love reaching and connecting with people through stories and shared interests.

​

I came of age during the Harry Potter era. The first book changed everything for me. It was the first series I ever read from beginning to end. I discovered it in middle school, long before the movies were released. (Yes, I’m that old!) To this day, I’m still a Ravenclaw at heart. While I don’t align with the author’s personal views on certain social matters, I can’t deny the impact her stories had on me as a reader and dreamer.

My goal as a writer is to give voice to the characters, worlds, and stories that have lived only in my mind until now.

​

I write Middle Grade and Young Adult fiction, mostly in the Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Contemporary genres. I also write adult fiction in the areas of Speculative, Erotica, and Dark Romance.

 

My kidlit work is written under the pen name A.J. Alford. My adult fiction is written under E.J. Tavanni. A jack of all trades, and proud of it.
