This is the place for writers and readers alike who have always wanted to know about the book they hold in their hands. Phoenix is AJ's fourth book and here we will be following it from concept to paperback to AudioMovie and beyond.

It takes more than just words to make a book, far more. So here you will follow AJ through the creative process - ideas, research, deadlines, editing, and production. You'll also find posts from Eli, AJ's manager, as she handles all the behind-the-scenes details.

4/6/10 – This is the start of the Blog! We are following Phoenix closely from here and we need a logo. This is my version. There will be a better one later, I promise – when a real artist can get his hands on it. In the meantime you get my version. Ha!

Phoenix becomes Phoenix

Written by AJ on December 15, 2009 – 10:14 am

12/15/09 – Eli and I were writing up some business documents last week and I realized that the name “Recognition” doesn’t suit me. We change the title to “Phoenix”. This is, of course, after we check Amazon for other books with this name and buy the corresponding PhoenixTheBook.com webpage! But it’s official, Jason’s story has a new title. I like the marriage of the story of Jason and the Argonauts and the journey idea with the myth of the Phoenix rising from the ashes to start a second life.

Dallas FD – no response

Written by AJ on July 27, 2008 – 8:26 am

7/27/08 – I have given up on hearing back from the Chief of the USAR division in Dallas. I had to write (not call!) and though I gave snail mail and email addresses and several phone numbers, no one has gotten back to me. I will have to try again at a later date. Ergh!!!

Jason

Written by AJ on June 14, 2008 – 8:06 am

6/14/08 – I re-name the main character of the book Jason. I like the reference to “Jason and the Argonauts” and the idea of the journey. I had to google the story to be sure it was a good match for mine. (I wound up with the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argonauts). But I love the idea that Jason takes his journey to return something. Though that ‘something’ is very different for my Jason, the idea is there . . .
