I wrote my first book, "A New Reality - A Wake up Call to Life's Mysteries" because I had a true story I had to tell. It developed from an envelope of notes and scraps of papers collected over time from strange happenings. Being educated as an engineer and very pragmatic, I had to find answers to the occurrences. When answers arrived to every question, I had to tell the story.
I enjoyed writing the first book so much I wanted to write another but without the restriction of it being a true story. That's when I wrote, "Reluctant Gods" by asking, "What if?" The story is fantasy fiction with a set of characters who became like real people to me, each with their own quirks, flaws and personalities. I'd laugh as I wrote and pictured them interacting as if they were real and in front of me.
The feedback on the second book motivated me to stay with it and to create "Reluctant Gods II - The Demon Seth" which is now out. I hope all of you get the chance to take a look at it and let me know what you think. Reluctant Gods III is on the way along with a new series.
My goal now is to find more time to write and spread the pleasure of a fun, entertaining story to as many readers as possible.

“Reluctant Gods” by A.J. Aaron asks you to imagine waking up one Saturday morning and learning that you are literally a god with the power to save the world. Your grandmother, Ayel, is an ancient mystic who showed you the secrets behind the trap door. Well, this scenario happened to Sevilen, an engineer with a back problem. Within 24 hours of Ayel’s death, his health is restored. Then, he inherits $77 billion and learns he can telepathically transport to another dimension. He meets Alexander, a trusted servant and four new archangels -- Raphael, Michael, Gabriel and Auriel -- who were formerly encrusted in stone. Together, these super humans will help him reunite with his one great love, Leyna, a gorgeous narcissist who misused her power and died. But there is one catch: Sevilen must accomplish this before Leyna’s next birthday and the proverbial clock is ticking.
Author A.J. Aaron is a genius. I loved this book! Although it had fantastical images, the real story was about Sevilen accepting his power. I understood that everything is as it should be but the author’s depiction of this concept is exceptional. The laid-back dialogue and cool characters helped mix fantasy with what is usually considered a serious, esoteric subject. Leyna’s mindset and sexual exploits are tastefully done. Quotes from Einstein, Toffler and Drucker reinforced the message. Aaron also wrote two other books including “Reluctant Gods II - The Demon Seth". This book is highly recommended for teenagers and adults.
