Hi there, my name is AJ, a nickname given to me as a child. My given name is Adrienne.I began writing 5 years ago but have been drawing all mylife.As a 9-year-old child, I would spend hour upon hourdrawing cartoons and images I saw in books. My parents supported my interest in drawing by getting me books onhow to draw and making sure I took art classes in school. I believe my love and talent for drawing is a gift from God, and do my best not to take this gift for granted. My main goal with my writing and drawing is to bring joy and hopeto others. Most of my artwork is joyful and filled with bright, happy images.

I didn’t rest from working on it until it was completed, staying up all hours of the night to work on it. Another inspiration for writing this book was the image you see on the cover of, “Funny Farm Friends Frolicking Freely”, I had drawn that image and wanted to make astory incorporating that image.

Start young. Talk and read to your baby when they are in your womb and read to them daily when they are born. Cherish your time reading with them, they grow upincredibly fast.

Believing in yourself and going for it. So many people have dreams of being a writer but we let our own false beliefs hold us back; we’re not good enough, no one willread our work, I don’t know how etc. Once we challengethose beliefs and just do it we will be successful in my opinion.

My husband and daughter are my greatest inspiration.They make me want to be the best version of myself. Theyare both hard chargers, when they want to succeed at something they go all in and give it everything they’ve got. I admire and love both of them madly and deeply. My heart and soul.
