The Proposal: Perfect combination of Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock, both at the top of their comedic game. I wish I had an assistant like Reynolds’ character… Bridget Jones Diary: Renee Zellweger is just so adorable here, and I prefer her looking plump than looking rail thin anyway Love Actually: Not entirely a romantic comedy,… Continue reading Favorite romantic comedies just in time for the holidays!

Hello readers!
This is Aja (pronounced Asia). Welcome to my site!
A bit about myself:
I’ve been writing stories since the age of six, and novels since the age of thirteen. Can’t say that those early efforts were particularly good, but I sure loved putting them down on paper! And whether I document them or not, stories are forever forming and expanding and interconnecting in my head.
The best part is–it’s completely organic, the way the stories develop. When the inspiration hits, I write just so I myself can learn where the characters are headed because oftentimes, they take me by surprise! It is my ultimate dream to become a best-selling novelist one day and share my stories with as many readers as I possibly can.
My other loves include art, cooking, old movies (anything with Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Redford, Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Clark Gable, and all the song and dance numbers because you can’t watch them and not be happy!)
I adore taking long walks with my husband and running after my two rambunctious kids. I have traveled extensively (all seven continents except Antarctica) and have a multi-cultural upbringing. I speak two and a half languages and binge watch TV shows when the mood strikes.
I love hearing from readers, so please contact me directly! Subscribe to this blog to get the latest news and updates and free chapters in upcoming books!
Ciao for now!
XOXO Aja James
Actors I’ve been (slightly) obsessed with in recent history and the roles they played
Authors often get asked where their inspiration comes from. I don’t know about others, but I get pretty inspired by hot guys 🙂 In writing any romance novel, it’s important to have a likable, relatable heroine, but for me, the most important part that keeps me writing is creating the sexiest, most badass, usually tortured,… Continue reading Actors I’ve been (slightly) obsessed with in recent history and the roles they played
How to stay sane and organized – a random list
Make lists in a journal or notebook: to do’s and by when (be as specific as possible, e.g., by Wednesday the 17th EOD), key points to note (AKA the parking lot), use bullets and numbers and date your entries. The best part is checking off the items on the list! Instant sense of accomplishment Color… Continue reading How to stay sane and organized – a random list
Who I Envision When I Develop My Characters – humans and “others”
I keep a “journal” of sorts on all of my characters and flesh them out over time. If you don’t want to be influenced by my vision of what each character looks like, DO NOT PROCEED. But if you’re curious how they look in my head, here are some of the humans and “others” who… Continue reading Who I Envision When I Develop My Characters – humans and “others”
Top 5 songs (as I’m writing this, because it changes moment to moment)
When I think about my stories, it’s like watching a movie unfolding. I have some sense where it might be headed, but the details emerge relatively organically, and sometimes characters and events take me by surprise. As with any movie, there’s a soundtrack. And characters might be closely associated with certain songs. Here are some… Continue reading Top 5 songs (as I’m writing this, because it changes moment to moment)
