Hey there, Reader!

(Yes, you!)

Step into my literary world where faith meets real life, where characters feel like friends, and where stories linger long after the last page.

Some days you might want a sweet romance, other days a spicy one. Sometimes you crave historical settings, while other times you’re in the mood for contemporary stories. Or maybe you just want your kid to read something that will entertain as well as educate.

That’s the beauty of reading — you get to choose your adventure every time you open a book.

So sign up below to receive my weekly “News, Views, & Reviews” newsletter (every Sunday at 11 a.m.) and become part of a community that celebrates authenticity, transformation, and the beautiful journey we’re all on.

What you’ll find in your inbox:

  • News: Updates on upcoming releases across all my pen names, events, and the latest from my writing desk

  • Views: My personal take on life, faith, and the little moments that inspire stories

  • Reviews: Book recommendations and occasionally sharing what readers are saying about my own novels

  • A recording of each email for the visually impaired

  • And…occasional surprises! 😉

Plus, you’ll get reminders about my latest blog featuring categories like Behind the Books, Entertainment Corner, and Behind the Scenes!

A large square with four logos quartered inside. Top left: "A.J. Strickland, Contemporary Romance" is written in purple around a woman in a red sweater, black leggings, and camel boots reading a book before a blue circle.

Bottom left: Red letters that spell "H.R. Crittenden, Historical Romance" appear on a camel background. Above the words is an opened book with red cover, a white quill lay atop the book. Finally, bottom right: On a festive background of purple, lavender, and magenta is a teal book with a happy face, arms, and legs standing ahead of a green bush. Around the cheery book are the words "Allie Jay, Books for Kids."
