about me

I'm noted for my warped sense of humor, and I've had nonfiction books published through McGraw-Hill and Nick Lyons Press.

see Author Page at https://www.amazon.com/author/ajcampbell
and my pages on Facebook.
Also on Goodreads.

Notes on writing:
Speak to the hand and listen carefully. I won't back a book that isn't well-written. Don't give me conversations in a void and Victorian description. Bland characters die from lack of love. And religion won't make you a better writer.

Oh, yes! And don't forget. I'll be back, after a (hopefully)short term of samsara-- even if I return as a chicken.

Now back to books:
The Demon's Door Bolt trade paperback and Kindle edition are available at Amazon, the paperback through several on-line dealers including my own website (the best buy).

I thank those who read it all the way through and backed it. I'll leave it online for anyone who happens to be reading the chapters installed.

Forging the Blade is the older of the two novels, and I've uploaded a few chapters. This is a DARK one, appropriately set in Transylvania where the historical events actually happened. I used ten years of research and archaeological findings to build this lost world. And surprisingly, it's pre-Arthurian.

I don't expect many Authonomites to back it, because I can't give it the attention it needs. It's a good tale, slightly different, and has the flavor of antiquity. Forging the Blade is now available in trade paperback and will show up on Amazon before July. Advanced distribution will bring me 37 cents profit per copy. (!!!) If I sell a billion copies, I can fly to Havana and drink a Cuba Libra.
