With the unexpected success of the Power Exchange books, I get a lot of email, tweets, Facebook PMs, asks on Tumblr and such asking me when they can expect my next book, if there’ll be a sequel to Safeword, if I have any more short stories planned. I’m staggered by the amount of email I receive from people in general simply telling me how much they enjoyed reading what I’ve written. It makes for the warm fuzzies, that’s for sure.
Unfortunately, I can’t keep up. I’m spending my writing time catching up on my email, and the quickest way to halt a writing career is to halt the writing. I can’t let that happen.
So here’s a nifty new page on my blog to let everyone know what to expect!
Queers (released January 31, 2014) is the prequel to an as yet unnamed trilogy I have planned with an unknown release date. The Trilogy will carry aspects of Queers forward and perhaps feature cameos of the Queers characters if it fits the story.
Also, I’m working on an apocalypse story centered in the eastern half of the U.S. which will then span the country as my main characters, Ash and Elliot, navigate a world where all the old rules no longer apply. Here’s a tease of the cover.
I have no scheduled release date for this one, titled The Long Fall of Night, but I’m hoping to have it released late 2014.
So there you have it. My plans for the next four books. I will update this page as things progress so check back when you’re wondering, “When was it AJ said he’d be releasing his next book?”
Happy reading!

Excellent idea, AJ. You are certainly right to prioritize your focus, and this is a great way to keep the fans updated without having to sacrifice precious writing time. I have said it many times here on your blog, on Goodreads, and on Facebook, but I have to mention again how your success warms my heart, and I wish you all the best on the WIP and all the future works you have planned. 🙂
Nice to meet Toby and Corey, by the way. They’re adorable!
Aw, thanks, Christine!
I liked Theo’s covers. I’m sure these will be fine but just wanted to say my 2 cents.
Um, what Christine said. And plans for FOUR books (omg, your head must be buzzing). I’m looking forward to the little snippets and teases, and Queers (this is probably the first time in my life that I’m glad December’s not too far away;) )
This is an awesome idea! I am FUCKTARDEDLY Excited for Queers!!! It’s madness how excited I am! But I wouldn’t want you to halt your writing so this is a brilliant idea. The illustrations are outstanding and your cover is wonderful! Can’t wait
*steals, runs away to add that to my file of loved and oft used phrases*
Very looking forward to your new (4) books !!♪ ヽ(´▽｀)/。..
but does this means no more story for Ben & (lovely) Gevin (T_T).
Thank you for this page, though.
Never say never, but for now, Ben and Gavin are quiet in my head.
Your books are so full of love. I am excited for your next book. Thank You.
AJ I am so hooked on Power Exchange and Safeword I am yet reading them again for the umpteenth time. I found the dynamics between Gavin and Ben intriguing. I see that you haven’t included them in your plans for upcoming books. Does that mean their story is really completed? I could so see a sequel maybe centered around Collared and including Jared Nunn’s story. He is the one character that I thought had a story begging to be told. Anyway, I don’t do this much, but I just had to let you know that they still have fans dying to know.
Sharon, thank you for your kind words! I’m writing the third Power Exchange book now, but it’s not about Jared Nunn. It deals with Myah’s past roaring up to swallow her like a beast made of teeth and stank and the destruction of souls, and Ben, Gavin, and Cole as saviors. It’s not on the Upcoming Works page (yet) because I am a.) moving to a new blog site (http://ajrosewrites.wordpress.com) and this one will go away, and b.) I’ve been so busy writing it, I’ve neglected everything else. All my WIPs are on hold until this is done. Hopefully releasing September/Octoberish.
