AJ Smith is a British author who has made a name for himself in the realms of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. From his time in university, where he studied psychology, sociology, and philosophy, Smith has been crafting stories set in the world of The Long War. He has found that creating these fictional worlds and characters provides a welcome distraction from the real world and allows him to take control of his narrative.
In addition to his work as an author, Smith has also spent time working with troubled children and has written several articles related to youth work and counseling. He has found that writing fantasy books is not only a creative outlet for him but also a therapeutic one. By creating these fictional worlds, he can decide what happens next and find a sense of control and stability that may be lacking in his everyday life.
Smith is passionate about his writing and has started a Patreon account to connect with his readers and give them a behind-the-scenes look at his process. He offers his supporters access to his blog, signed books, early access to chapters and maps, personalized writing advice, and other perks. He sees this as an opportunity to build a community around his work and to hear from the people who enjoy his stories.
Smith is currently working on a new fantasy series and is excited to bring his readers along for the journey. He hopes to connect with as many people as possible through his writing and to create a sense of equilibrium and balance in his life through his creative pursuits. He is grateful to his supporters for helping him to live his dream of being a full-time author.
