AJ Elliott writes clean science fiction and fantasy with powerful characters. Her first young adult novel, Windrider, released in December 2025.

AJ Elliott has served 16 years in the military and currently serves in the US Space Force. In college, she studied international relations in order to pursue her interests in foreign cultures and later traveled to countries such as China, South Korea, Kazakhstan, and the former Soviet Union.

No one can explore the world without discovering its dark spots, and AJ began to study the spiritual side of human affairs—what drives the light, and what drives the darkness. Now she writes stories about those destinations which are still out of reach—other worlds—and about the light and darkness in our own world.

She lives in West Virginia with her husband, their super-powered toddler, and a geriatric cat who thinks she runs the household. 

Some of her favorite authors are: C.S. Lewis, Ray Bradbury, Lois Lowry, H.G. Wells, Malcolm Gladwell, J.R.R. Tolkien, Madeleine L’Engle, Dr. Caroline Leaf, Ellen McGinty, Ashlyn McKayla Ohm, and S.D. Smith.
