A.J. Newman is an author specializing in science fiction and mystery novels, with over 50 published works available on platforms such as Amazon and Audible.

Known for his "Pre-History apocalyptic" narratives, Newman draws inspiration from current events, blending speculative fiction with real-world relevance. His works, such as those in his unnamed series, often explore survivalist themes and moral dilemmas in high-stakes scenarios.
Born and raised in western Kentucky, Newman developed an early passion for reading, particularly science fiction, which later shaped his writing career. He holds a degree in Chemistry from USI and worked in manufacturing and logistics before dedicating himself to writing. His military background—six years in the Army National Guard, where he served in an armored unit—informs his detailed depictions of combat and veterans' experiences. This firsthand knowledge lends authenticity to his action-driven plots and characters.
Newman's writing emphasizes realism, with protagonists who reflect everyday people thrust into extraordinary circumstances. As he notes, his characters "rise to the occasion" when faced with adversity, revealing their true nature under pressure. Rejecting political correctness, his stories feature clear distinctions between heroes and villains, often set against dystopian or apocalyptic backdrops. He currently resides in Kentucky with his wife and their small dogs, continuing to write stories that merge speculative fiction with gritty, survivalist tension.
