Hi, welcome to my profile.
Bio writing is not easy.
I can’t think of a single thing you would find interesting about me. I love coffee. Cliche, I don’t know any writer who doesn’t love coffee. What else? I got nothing.
So, I asked my boyfriend, Malcolm, if he could write me a bio, and I added sweetly, “You know me better than I do.” Now, he called it a “trap.” Whatever that meant. But let’s see.
This is what he wrote, “Ash is a passionate and dedicated writer, whose stories capture the hearts of everyone who reads them. With a keen eye for detail and a talent for crafting relatable characters, he weaves tales that transport us to new worlds and evoke powerful emotions. As his partner, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing his creative process firsthand, and I’m constantly amazed by his imagination and skill.”
I told him after reading his second sentence, half the audience left the room, later realizing it was their own bedroom.
He said, “There is no pleasing you, and that’s what you should put in your bio.” I told him if he wanted to please me, he should stay off the new paraphrasing feature on his laptop. And then he wasn’t talking to me. So, after five minutes of silence, I said, “there are other more effective ways to please me.” And he chuckled. I knew he could never stay mad at me for long.
So, let’s get back to who am I. “I am a Spiderman.” Had to say it. Well, no. I, A.B Julian, am an M/M Romance author. Who enjoys variety of genres within MM romance. Enemies to lovers is a running theme in most of my books. I also enjoy rescue and second chance stories. I have found readers who love my work, and I am grateful for them. Some of my readers told me how amazed they were at the quality of my book and how much they loved the story. It means that before reading my book, they had zero confidence in me, so I was happy to surprise them and glad that they gave me a chance.
On a serious note, I sincerely appreciate the positive feedback I received from readers for my books that kept me motivated. My debut novel, *First Crush*, was released in 2016, and despite its amateurish editing, it resonated with many readers. Among the books I have written my most loved are *Hated: Care No More (2024)* and the error-free republished version of *If I Met You First… (2023)*, followed by *If I Didn’t Know Better (2024)*, *I Hate You! M/M Bully Romance (2024)* and *Revelling In Him (2023)*; each exploring unique narratives. I’m grateful for the love I have received for these books and the number of copies sold. It’s a good thing I didn’t give up on writing; the feeling of progress is incredibly rewarding. I also wish that you’d never stop reading and taking chance in authors like me. Or mostly me. Read my books.

Detective Declan is a hot & witty cop. He goes after what he wants & consequences are damned. Charles is sexy & with his wet hair, he is so irresistible. Stifled has drama, action & romance. I loved the whole thrilling & suspense plot with hot romance & sex. Loved it. A best read.
