They say art can’t convince people to read books, can this art convince you that my Arabian Nights X Robin Hood fantasy with enemies to lovers and a love triangle with the *not living* is worth your while?!

For lovers of Robin Hood, Arabian Nights, and The Legend Of Zelda
Ensnared in a nefarious plot and the victim of blackmail, Gideon Einar —a devoted falconer and grieving single father— fights to evade lies. Everything changes when he meets a mysterious folklorist, Soraya, whose message to him threatens his already brittle sense of safety. As she works to uncover dark secrets hidden within the royal court, Gideon finds himself torn between hatred and admiration for her. Can they find a way to work together and as a result, submit to their growing feelings, or will they go their separate ways, inevitably destroying the other in the process?

Sometimes, to destroy evil, you have to embrace it…

The night Nora’s parents were murdered, something ancient and malevolent stirred beneath the waves—and it never let go. No one else felt it. But Nora did... she still does.

The darkness whispers her name, curls through her thoughts, tempts her with release. On the edge of the Mackinac Bridge, Nora is ready to surrender. But fate has other plans.

A flash of burning green eyes. Wings of midnight. And everything changes.

Saved by Kairos, a powerful celestial, who claims she’s his fated mate, Nora is thrust into a hidden world of otherworldly beings and ancient prophecy. Her past—wiped away. Her future—bound to a war that began long before she was born.

A century ago, the demon queen Nyx stole everything from Nora. Now she wants her soul. But Nora won’t go down without a fight.

To save the world—and the ones she loves—Nora must unlock the terrible truth of who she is. Even if it means binding herself to a dark king who promises love… and carries deadly secrets.

As Heaven and Hell collide, Nora must choose between the mate who holds her heart and the darkness that calls her name.

Because the God of Shadows is coming. And he won’t stop until she belongs to him

• Fated Mates
• Reincarnation & Lost Memories

💫💜🎶 TITLE REVEAL 🎶💜💫

Introducing Benny & Rhema’s next adventure…

✨A F*CKERY OF SONGS & SHADOWS✨ by @ajbraunauthor

In another epically absurd adventure, the notorious dragon rider-and-dragon bounty hunter duo, Rhema and Benny, have disguised themselves as security personnel to get into the most popular musical festival of the year: Courtchella. With a bounty reward big enough to fill their stomachs for months with booze and butter, Rhema and Benny are tasked to kill the up-and-coming bardic boy band, Morally Gone, who are enchanting their fandom into mindless groupies for better PR.

But when they run into Rhema’s old rival—and old flame—Rosanna, they find themselves in need of her extensive knowledge of the festival’s cave system in order to kill the shadowy men before their biggest performance—and enchantment—yet. It’s too bad Rhema’s got a chip on her shoulder after her last encounter with Rosanna, otherwise this bounty adventure might’ve gone as smooth as butter instead of these three getting stuck in a backstage tunnel system filled with shadowy booby traps.
Will Rhema, Benny, and Rosanna make it to Morally Gone’s performance before it’s too late? Will Rhema and Rosanna be able to work through their glaringly obvious miscommunication trope and finally admit their feelings? But more importantly, will Benny be able to get more of his new favorite artisanal butterballs once this is over?

✨2025 AUTHOR WRAPPED: A.J. BRAUN STYLE✨

So it’s been a CRAZY A** YEAR?!?! Look, it took me 3.5 years to write OBAS so sometimes I forget this was actually my debut year as an author, and BOI OH BOI has it been just the coolest, hardest, wildest ride!!! ✨🫶🏼💃🏼

The first half of the year was definitely the busiest book-wise: OBAS was published on Jan. 9th which led into multiple book signings, my first bookcon event, as well as writing and publishing my second story: AFOFAF 🎉 met sooo many new authors AND readers along the way as well as found my amazing street team 🥲😭🫶🏼

The second-half became very busy in my non-bookish life: my day job (which is my love & passion) was hectic as f*** which is actually fantastic because now I’m heading towards some awesome career goals I’ve been working towards for several years 🎉💃🏼🤩 Join my newsletter if you wanna hear more details about those bits!

Stay tuned for a post in the new year where I’ll share my 2026 goals for my 3 new projects I’ve got going on! One of them you already got a sneak peek on Christmas (you lucky little duckies) and I can’t WAIT to share more about the other two 🤩🎉💃🏼✨🥳
ALSO SHOUT OUT TO MY NEW PA @barbies.bookloft who is making my marketing life such a breeeeze 😭🫶🏼

THANK YOU ALL FOR SUCH AN AMAZING YEAR full of support, excitement, hard work, and getting to live in a such surprising + fulfilling chapter in my life 😭🫶🏼💖 love you all!!!

If the tropes can’t make a reader of you, can the art?
.
.
.
In Myrnith, a world heavily inspired by Skyrim, our reluctant dowager queen, Myla Alerys is caught between duty and desire. ✨ With her less-than-charming but unfortunately necessary husband out of the picture (thanks to fate? More like the fae…), she’s left guarding an ancient secret while navigating the tricky waters of ruling in a man’s world. With a bodyguard as tempting as forbidden fruit 🍌 , what’s a girl to do? Any other woman might consider herself lucky to find beautiful men at random intervals knelt before her throne, but when one is a bodyguard she is forbidden to love, and the other is a fallen fae god, Myla struggles to focus on what’s truly important: saving her entire kingdom from the clutches of an ancient curse..

The duology will be complete ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!
