Interview with Author AJ Kurtz

Over the past few months, I've become part of the Instagram writing community and have met wonderful writers, authors, cat lovers, and nerdigans!  I've done author review swaps, interviews, and connected with people in a way I've never done before.  I've always been somewhat of an outlier, always strange, and never one to fit in.  But I've found my niche there and it's been a lot of fun.

One of those great and fun people is author AJ Kurtz!  Let's get to know here, shall we?  :)
