About Rebecca & AJP

Welcome to Aria James Publishing, the bookstore owned and run by Rebecca K. Sampson. Hi! That's me!

I publish stories under three genres and pen names. No matter the genre, all books show unique takes on love surviving even the most difficult of situations and settings. Because that is the life I have lived!

At AJP, your purchase directly supports me and her family, instead of large retailers. Thank you for your support!

How did you start writing books?

I've always been creative and loved reading (growing up in the years where vampires and dystopian novels took over our shelves), but spent my time writing poetry and creating mixed media collages. It was in college that I started writing professionally, but with blog posts to compliment my YouTube vlogs and tutorials, with 10K engaged subscribers that wanted to hear about my life and opinions. Expressing myself has always been part of me, only the medium with which I've done it has changed. 

In November 2014, the same month I was getting married to my high school sweetheart, I heard about the NaNoWriMo writing challenge, and fell in love with the idea of gamified writing. 10 years later, publishing is now a cornerstone of my life!

Ember Dragon Daughter is the first full book I finished, after a few false starts, and I'm so proud of what it became.
