Pennames!

Posted in Uncategorized  by AJHampton

I posted about this on another group and it occurred to me, some of you might like to know how I got my penname Smile emoticon

Okay, well AJ isn’t my real name. *shush* As a lot of erotic writers do, not all I’m sure, I use a fake name to protect my identity. Not that there is much to protect.  So, I wanted to pick a name that would suit me. I chose AJ cause… I always liked boyish names.

I chose Hampton because two of my favorite authors are Charlaine Harris & Laurell Hamilton. If - scratch that - when I make it in a library or book store, I wanted to be sandwiched between them :) Lucky for me, my first novel went POD, but unlucky for me, I don’t think its in book stores yet. But, you can buy it online, so thats something right? A start I tell you, a start.

But, I now realize the error of my ways. For some reason, AJ translates *for reasons beyond me* to A.J. Where the periods came in, I’ll never know. So, sometimes when you search for AJ you don’t find me cause its under A.J.  Its rather annoying, but, what can you do right? You should hear my publisher when I rant about it to her.

“Yes AJ, we all know how to spell it…”

So, I’m sure you all just got a lot more information then you bargained for!!

I’d be interested in learning how other authors with fake names came up with theirs!! So, spill!! Leave a comment!

((hugs))

New Review - Tempting Sin 4 1/2 Hearts!

Posted in Reviews  by AJHampton

4 1/2 Hearts out of 5!! From Love Romances & More for Tempting Sin!

AJ Hampton delivers a wildly erotic ride with her latest book from Cobblestone and get ready for one haunting story that stirs you up then spits you out. TEMPTING SIN is a story about a powerful mage that has one weakness: human emotions especially when the two men she has loved forever turn up and call to her. Darkness surrounds her that she struggles to hide from one lover and eventually things force her hand. Now the question is: can one man love a woman with such darkness in her? Multifaceted characters, a fast paced storyline and the highly erotic sex scenes make this story heat up and melt the screen. Just a word of warning: there are ménage scenes and it can be very graphic so it may not be for everyone…
