A.J. Scudiere

A.J. Scudiere is a highly accomplished author, known for her works in mystery, suspense, and fantasy genres. She has been an avid reader since a young age and began writing her own stories at the age of eight. Scudiere is a scientist at heart, which is reflected in her meticulous approach to storytelling. She is committed to ensuring that the stories are authentic and well-researched, often going to great lengths to ensure accuracy.

Scudiere has written numerous books, with almost twenty published to date. She has received over twenty awards for Best Suspense and Best Fiction of the Year, and has been nominated for several Audie awards. Despite her success, Scudiere remains humble and dedicated to her craft. She continues to write and is currently working on a new series, while also continuing with her existing ones. When she is not writing, Scudiere enjoys traveling and conducting research for her books, which sometimes involves blowing things up.

Scudiere's passion for reading and writing began at a young age. After not making the advanced reading group in kindergarten, she made it her mission to become the best reader possible. She read books like "The Amityville Horror," "Flowers in the Attic," and "Carrie" before the age of seven, and by eight, she had written her first novella. As the daughter of a physicist and a lawyer, Scudiere values accuracy and authenticity in her stories. She strives to ensure that the stories "work" and that readers have all the pieces they need to solve the mystery by the end.

Scudiere's work has been recognized with numerous awards and nominations, including Best Suspense and Best Fiction of the Year awards, as well as Audie nominations. She is a prolific writer, with almost twenty books published to date. Despite her success, Scudiere remains committed to her craft and is always looking for ways to improve her writing. When she is not writing, she enjoys traveling, conducting research, and blowing things up (for "research purposes," of course).
