How does Devlin show affection? Instead of saying I love you… Artwork by Ikki. Illustration of man with hazel eyes, brown skin, dark blonde hair, and facial scar Faine: “Then you should understand why I don’t want you involved in mafia business. The books are translating are dangerous.” Dev: “By that same justification, you should understand why I’m doing it. I’ll never stop trying to support you whether you want me to or not.”

2025 Wrapped Jan - After querying a decade and receiving two offers of representation, I signed with FinePrint Literary Management. Feb - I revised THESE WILTED BONES, then went on submission to publishers. Additional rounds of revision followed, per feedback from editors. Mar - I wrote a beat sheet for THE CROOKED JACKAL, a reimagining of the first book I wrote 15+ years ago. I began drafting the first chapter. 2025 Wrapped May - I began writing THE CROOKED JACKAL in earnest, with the goal to finish by the end of the summer. Sep - I finished a rough draft of THE CROOKED JACKAL and submitted it to my agent. Oct - I received agent feedback and began the next round of revisions for THE CROOKED JACKAL. 2025 Wrapped Nov - I shared THE CROOKED JACKAL with more betas and critique partners. Dec - I began drafting beat sheets for new projects. 2026 - Here’s to 2026!

If you risked everything to become more than you were...to be a cybernetically enhanced healer so you could help people...only to have it all taken away, how hard would you fight to be able to heal?

If you've seen the teasers about my sci-fi novella, you should know that I've expanded it to move length and my agent will be sending it on sub in the new year. Images of a couple kissing, a space fighter plane, and a beautiful femme cyborg, against a background of stars, with the text, AJ Van Belle writes feminist, humanist, kickass sci-fi.

Our dreams should never have an expiration date. In December’s Marie Claire Greece, I wrote about my debut novel VILE LADY VILLAINS getting published in 3 countries next year, and about the importance of never giving up.

If you’re curious how I came up with the title, THE CROOKED JACKAL, for my newest MS, then look no further. Excerpts included! 👀✨

How did I choose the title? Subheadings: New Adult Science Fantasy w/ Romance. Represented by FinePrint Literary Management. The title of this book holds two meanings. On the surface, THE CROOKED JACKAL is the name of a brothel, which serves as headquarters for a mafia subgroup. On a deeper level, THE CROOKED JACKAL takes on new meaning toward the end of the book, the details of which I won’t spoil.

Old town bar with neon sign, Ferris wheel at night, silhouette of woman in front of red stain glass window, shadow of two people embracingbed with white curtains around it, cowboy hat, old church with red sunset, girl with match between teeth, a spilt BFF necklace, a heart, and a sign that says Yes I do bite.

❤️YA contemporary romance
⌨️ 70k words
Raised by her strict Tiger Mom, Maggie Wang fake-dates the hockey team grump to make her crush jealous, only to fall for the wrong guy and risk breaking all her mom’s rules.
#Cupit #CR #RC #poc #YA #FBW #Q #writingcommunity #amquerying
Moodboard Comp titles: Lynn Painter’s Better Than The Movies; Ann Liang’s This Time It’s Real; Tashy Bhuiyan’s Counting Down With You; Laura Taylor Namey’s A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow; Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before Maggie Wang lives by her tiger mom’s rules—even her crush ticks all the right boxes. But when she finally works up the courage to confess to the perfect guy, he’s too oblivious to look beyond their friendship. Desperate to turn his head, Maggie hatches a plan: snag a fake date to his hockey team’s skate party and make him jealous, as long as she can survive her clumsy self on the ice. Enter Nathan Myers—the team grump. Once he agrees to be her stand-in, everything seems simple enough: he’ll teach her how to skate, and she’ll put up with his attitude. Only the more time they spend together, the more Maggie discovers a gentle teddy bear hidden beneath Nathan’s gruff exterior. For the first time, she wonders if it’s okay to let go of certain expectations—being herself might actually be enough. But Nathan’s a wild card with no college plans. He doesn’t fit in the future Maggie’s mom has mapped out for her. Trapped between the family expectations and her growing feelings, she must decide whether breaking the rules is worth it with the boy who’s becoming more than just a fake date. #tropes and elements #FakeDating #GrumpySunshine #YAHockeyRomance #HeFallsFirst #ComingOfAge #FamilyDynamic #SiblingDynamic #FriendshipBreakUp #POCOwnVoice #OppositeAttracts
