Author Information

AJ Springer grew up in a small town in Washington and has been chasing adventure ever since--race cars, boxing gloves, protein shakes, and now plot twists. A former fitness coach and professional football player turned full-time mom and part-time ninja, she now writes stories before sunrise with a cup of tea in one hand and a kid's lunchbox in the other. Her debut novel, MaryLou, tugged on heartstrings. Her second, DonnaMae, packs a punch of grit, grief, and girl power. A curious mix of fright-night chiller and Edwardian romp, P. J. Morgan is equally at home narrating dark thrillers and lighthearted romantic escapades. They live with their two horses and assorted house pets in Rural Lite (TM) Oregon, alternately enjoying the solitude and craving the connection of story. Narrating keeps them sane in the darkness. As a nonbinary queer storyteller, P. J. certainly knows the value of subtext and how to read between the lines for deeper meaning. The quest for meaningful representation has consumed them for the better part of three decades. P. J. has narrated over 150 titles to date for Penguin Random House, Hachette, Brilliance Audio, Audible Studios, BeeAudio, Pink Flamingo Productions, Findaway Voices, Spoken Realms, Audibly Addicted, Read Me Romance, and many independent authors. They were nominated for a Sultry Listeners Award in 2023 in the contemporary romance category. They have a background in theater, musical ensemble, and opera; several TV and film credits; and a degree in linguistics with emphases on phonetics and the French language. When not in the booth acting as a spiritual medium for the characters that possess them, P. J. spends as much time as possible outside. When the weather renders that unpleasant, they can often be found obsessively rewatching favorite shows (especially Our Flag Means Death, Severance, Killing Eve, and Hannibal), researching their Welsh and Irish heritage, learning to speak Thai, starting new craft projects, or world-building within their sci-fi trilogy WIP.
