AJ Benson

AJ has written Quest for the King (a devotional written as a fantasy novella), as well as a number of fantasy and gamelit short stories, including "Time to Play" in the Grifty Shades of Fey anthology, and One Turn Deserves Another in the Vampire Survival Guide. She has a Master’s Degree in International Affairs from The George Washington University and has been writing and editing as an analyst for over 28 years. She is currently a member of both the Maryland Writers Association and the career strategist for Apex Writers.

She reads non-fiction books on a range of topics to include writing craft and health-related works and enjoys the whimsy of fantasy and romance across sub-genres, the depth of ancient myth and lore, and the excitement of magic wherever it can be found. She loves the epic struggle between good and evil. #EmbraceTheDragon
