My first romance novel, Lexi's Undoing, landed on Wattpad in Oct 2015, and it was published by Hachette Audiobooks in 2018. Despite my penchant for writing kissy, steamy, roll-in-the-hay stories, my first love is fantasy. Almost all of my romances have fantasy elements. I also have a few YA stories hanging out under my username, which includes my Wattys winner Neon Girl (now available on Yonde). When I'm not obsessing over this incredible community, I'm a Wattpad Engagement Ambassador and an organizer for

I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada by musician parents who didn't believe in discipline, but irreverent humor ran rampant in the house, so I turned out okay. I also got to meet a lot of celebrities, although I didn't appreciate the cool factor at the time.

Music is the yummy sweet center of life. I listen to music, in one form or another, from the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep. However, if I enter an establishment that is playing country twang or opera, I'll walk out. A girl has to have her standards.

Fave books are Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan series, the Harry Potter series, and Seraphina by Rachel Hartman. I like me some fantasy. As for romance, I like the works of Sylvia Day and, yes, I enjoyed the Fifty Shades series. I am attracted to complicated men, both in and out of the bedroom. (in novels, you sillies)

If I had to pick my two fave bands, like if a gun was held to my head and I had to choose, it would be Pink Floyd and Linkin Park (Rest gently, Chester).

Fave movies are Coneheads, Elf, Jim Carrey's Grinch, and The Hobbit.

Fave shows to binge are Stranger Things, Big Bang Theory, Madam Secretary, Atypical, The Witcher, and Anthony Bourdain's travel shows (I will always be in mourning).

AJ Arnault aka

AJ Arnault has lived a hundred different lives before writing.

The former waitress—turned military officer—turned stay-at-home mom—turned mental health counseling grad student, currently resides in Virginia.

She writes fiction in between chasing after her four kiddos, dopey labradoodle, grumpy cat, and incredibly tolerant husband.

Like many authors on Wattpad, AJ began penning Harry Potter fan fiction. As her confidence grew, she turned to writing original fiction.

Her first novel, The Problem With Dying, was selected for mentorship in 2020 by the fabulous Sal Mason. Even though she didn't win, AJ's story caught the staff's attention, and she was invited to become a Wattpad Star in January 2021.

Since then, she has become a Wattpad Exclusive Author, a WritersConnX panelist, and Bootcamp mentor herself.

Two of AJ's stories, Sailing West and The Problem With Dying, were also shortlisted in 2021.

I love writing stories that make people feel good. My genres are all over the place. I'm currently working on a YA contemporary romance. I recently completed a YA sci-fi and an LGBTQ adult contemporary romance. That romance, called Falling for the Gun-Toting Accountant, won a 2021 Watty! I've also got an entire YA fantasy series with over a million reads on Book 1 alone. That book, Siena, was shortlisted for the 2017 Watty Awards. I also have a YA paranormal book in the Paid Stories program called My Mother Runs with Wolves .

If you need further proof that I like helping new writers, I also maintain an interactive Wattpad book, How Write Stories People Will Love. Writers ask me questions and I answer them as best I can. I also give you the pep talk you need to get over your self doubt, because sometimes we need that.

Lastly, I'm a California native with a loving partner and three yapping little dogs. When I'm not writing or working at my day job as a design engineer (basically a web designer who does more coding than designing), I'm playing video games and wondering if I should be writing instead.
