About the Author
The writers behind the pseudonym A. J. Low are the husband-and-wife team, Adan Jimenez and Felicia Low-Jimenez.
Born in the San Joaquin Valley in California to Mexican immigrant parents, Adan Jimenez became an immigrant himself when he moved to Singapore after completing his studies at New York University. He has worked for comic book stores, book stores, and gaming stores. And a hoagie sandwich shop once. He loves comics, LEGOs, books, games (analog and video) , Doctor Who, sandwiches, and his wife, Felicia. Not necessarily in that order, though. He also co-wrote the book Twisted Journeys #22: Hero City.
Felicia Low-Jimenez has worked in the book industry most of her adult life, after graduating with a degree in Business Administration (which she felt was too practical, so she got a graduate degree in Literary Theory) . She has bought books, sold books, marketed books, and now she is trying her hand at writing books. She loves to nap and eat chocolate, though not at the same time. She spends most of her free time reading and when she can afford it, she travels. Most of all, she loves her husband, Adan (who insisted that she include this) .
