Sharing stories

May 18, 2025

I've always loved a good love story. Across any genre, from books to movies to TV shows, it was always the stories of connection and finding home with another that drew me in and kept me up at night.

Is there anything more comforting than the idea that you might find another to share this strange life with? And what about all the other things we have to deal with in life? From the everyday concerns of contemporary romance to the world ending and universe altering stakes of thrillers and sci-fi, I still can't get enough of the small scale intimacy of two (or more!) characters uniting in the face of whatever life throws at them.

Over time that love of a good story (and a good love story) spilled over into my need to write my own. In one way or another I've been shaping these ideas for the better part of fifteen years, but only recently did my writing skew toward a particular focus, one where I felt like this is it, it's time.

And so here I am! Thank you for taking the time to check out my writing. If in some small way you wind up enjoying my stories the way that I delight in the stories of others, this will have all been worth it.

Let's see where this path takes us. To the future! 🥂

AJ Mourning

AJ writes spicy romance stories about finding connection, moving past shame and having a little fun along the way. It also doesn't hurt if those stories feature men who love other men as much as they do women. AJ lives in Australia, but would happily call home anywhere across the Pacific between California and Queensland.
