About

V. J. Chambers likes bad boys, but she likes them to be actual bad boys, not misunderstood weaklings who cover up their emotional scars with a thin veneer of pretend bad-boy-ness.

She likes to tackle difficult philosophical questions. She likes to push fiction to the edge, to go just a little farther.

She writes stories about difficult people living difficult lives in difficult situations. Usually, there’s magic. Or monsters. Or space. Or gun fights. A lot of times, there’s also L-O-V-E. (Or at least uncomfortable conversations about sex.)

She’s the author of the Jason and Azazel series and many other stories for teens and adults. She lives in Shepherdstown, WV with her boyfriend Aaron and their cat.

      Thanks Tuli!

  • Magdalena

    I'm from Sweden and by accident found your books. The only think I can say its that you are BRILLIANT!!!
    Thanks for your books!

  • vjchambers

    Yay, thanks, Magdalena! I think you're the first Swede that I know of that's read the books. :)

    (Okay, um, do people in Sweden actually refer to themselves as Swedes? Probably not. I guess you'd refer to yourselves as some Swedish word. Anyway, hope I'm not sounding like a ridiculously stupid American.)

    hey ive read all 3 of your jason and azazel books and i loved them
    what i loved about them is that azazel still loves jason after it all
    so do you think i should finish stillness in the air? because i really do NOT like kieran!

    • vjchambers

      Um, of course I do. Because I wrote the book, and I think it's fabulous. :)

      It's really your call.

      As for who she ends up with by the end of this trilogy, even I don't know that. I haven't written the other books yet.

  • Magdalena

    Hey honey!!
    I'm from Macedonia, I'm 16 and obsessed with good books!! I found your Jason & Azazel trilogy 2 months ago, I read the 3 of them and I was like…. breathless!! :) ) ((:
    You're really amazing!! I started reading the "Stillness In The Air" now and I'm little sad 'cos Azazel doesn't love Jason anymore, did it had to be that way, it was so perfect?!
    Anyway, your books are amazing, you're great, keep it that way!! <3

    • vjchambers

      Thanks, Magdalena!!

    So, I found your book, "breathless" over the christmas holiday, because I wanted free books for my kindle, and I read it! One of the best books i have ever read! I haven't had a chance to read the other ones yet :( but, such is life!
    You must keep writing, you are the best writer I have ever had a chance to read!

    • vjchambers

      Wow! The best writer? Seriously. You are my new favorite person (even though I must admit I think you must not have read very widely. :) )

    Really intriguing post. Got me realize I was entirely incorrectly about this content. I suppose one learns something different everyday. Mrs Right found her lesson! Good informative blog by the way. Appreciate your blog

    How is it that you know so much about the Sarasota/Bradenton area living in WV? It's my favorite area in FL. I live on the Treasure Coast, but wish I lived in that area. Just Curious.

    • vjchambers

      I lived there for two years, back in '04 and '05, I think. I worked at Florida Studio Theatre in the box office. I got sick of all the old people and came back home. :)

    Hi there, I found your blog via Google while searching for first aid for a heart attack and your post looks very interesting for me.

  • p.m.m

    first, let me say, you are an excellent writer and i've been passing your name along! second, i might not be looking hard enough, but do you have a potential release date for the final book of the J & A trilogy? and finally, keep it up :-)

    • vjchambers

      Thanks so much! No, I haven't got anything definite on the last book yet. I just finished up the first draft of the first book in a new trilogy, unrelated to J&A, and I have some other projects to finish up as well. I'd say the earliest I might get to it would be later this year, meaning it might be out sometime early next year. At the latest, fall of next year. We'll see when inspiration strikes.

    Hi. Is it possible to send a private message (or email) to the author or to anyone else on the thread?
    Thanks

    • vjchambers

      Um, my email address is at the end of the about section above. But I don't think you can message any of the people in the thread, no. Sorry.

  • coolcd13yrs
  • vjchambers

    Yup, without the www

    • coolcd13yrs

      I sent you an email

    • clickityclunk

      Sadly, I have no idea how to start my own thread to send you a comment so I have to piggyback on somelses. (sorry there chum) But I just finished reading your Jason and Azazel trilogy and I am so happy that you left all three of them for free! I had to turn off my ereader and read it online because i couldn't turn the pages any kind of fast enough. thanks for writing the way i think :)

      • vjchambers

        Sure thing!

        Hey, did you know there's another trilogy? I should put links in this message, but I'm lazy. Anyway, scroll up to the top of this page, click the Jason and Azazel link, and the other two books are already there. The third will be on sale at the beginning of January, and will start serializing midmonth.

  • clickityclunk

    LOL I was unaware that breathless was part of a trilogy until I I started book 2 yesterday evening and had to switch to the computer! I curse my self for having a jerky rolley mouse that keeps the words from flowing smoothly as I click. excuse me while I inhale the second trilogy :) awesome work!

  • Ivo Tchernev

    Is there a way to send a private email to the author?

    • vjchambers

      Hey, Ivo. I think I just got your email. :) Sorry I wasn’t able to help, but I see you found the email address above. If I ever do decide to publish the book in print with those covers, I will be sure to make sure that Alexandra gets copies.

  • vjchambers

    Normally, I'd say sure, but when I click on your name it takes me to a weird place that says b-my.com is for sale. Are you a bot, Rik Monte? Please reply if you are actually a person.
