A.J. Ponder

Crazy busy doing my final edits on Prophecy and Omens, the sequels to my latest book Quest. And hopefully creating a book magnet to go with The Sylvalla Chronicles series. Sylvalla's been a fantastic character, an unabashedly sword-weilding princess in a motley crew of unheroic heroes. I'm putting her though hell-not quite literally-although I suspect that would be fun! :)

Biography

A.J. Ponder has a head full of monsters, and recklessly spills them out onto the written page. Beware dragons, dreadbeasts, taniwha, and small children—all are equally dangerous, and capable of treading on your heart – or tearing it, still beating, from your chest.
Sir Julius Vogel Award and NZSA winning author A.J. Ponder also has a BSc Hons and Diploma of Teaching.
