A.J. Cullen

A.J. Cullen is an avid reader, hopeful writer, usual introvert, sometimes crafter, and history devotee. When not scribbling yet another novel idea on whatever loose paper she can find, A.J. spends her time pursuing a doctoral degree in education while also growing her progressive teaching philosophy inside early childhood and secondary education classrooms. Currently, she resides in Massachusetts with her loving mother and the leaning tower of books by her bedside. Stacked with classic literature, the history books you’d only find on your grandfather’s shelves, and plenty of YA, you can bet that her “to be read” list keeps her light on and the neighbors awake well into the night.
