AJ JORDAN
AJ Jordan, a 6'5" former collegiate athlete, successfully transitioned from his status as a high-achieving real estate professional to the literary world. During his real estate career, he represented 1,436 transaction sides totaling $397.4 million in sales. His exceptional performance earned him a ranking in the top 200 by Real Trends and recognition in the Wall Street Journal for completing 317 transactions in 2017.
However, AJ's heart always belonged to literature. With a double major in Anthropology and Psychology, he gained insight into human nature, myth, and culture, elements that can be found in his storytelling. Leveraging his real estate achievements, he retired early to chase his dream of writing a fantasy novel series. Founding Brightstone Books, AJ is now committed to bringing his unique vision to the dark fantasy genre and redefine how storytelling is done.
The team at Brightstone Books is creating an immersive experience for their flagship mythopoeic dark fantasy series, Mystic. Beginning with traditional print books, the project extends to a soundscape audiobook with a full voice cast, original soundtrack, and atmospheric sound effects. Additionally, weekly 5-minute visual episodes of the soundscape audiobook will be released on YouTube, using concept art from notable fantasy artists to bring an added layer of immersion. At the same time, the interactive ebook app will provide a more hands-on approach, with embedded links within the story to additional lore, maps, and character backgrounds, all to envelop the reader more fully into the world. Beyond these core projects, Brightstone Books also has plans for a documentary-style lore video series, interactive role-playing experiences, and more.
AJ and Brightstone Books aim to leave a lasting legacy in the fantasy genre and earn a respected seat at the Hall of Fame table amongst the legends of literature.
