Abby J Reed

Hi, I’m Abby

I write science fiction and fantasy as AJ Reed,
and nonfiction/memoir as Abby J Reed.

I have a degree in English Writing and am drawn to characters with physical limitations due to my own neurological disorder called Chronic Migraine. I live in Colorado with my family and two fluffy pups. If my hands aren’t on the keyboard, they are stained purple and blue with paint.

The Color of Pain

The Color of Pain

Ancient Egyptians treated migraine by tying clay crocodiles to the forehead. The Victorians solved migraine by having doctors drill holes into their loved one’s skulls. Today, the Migraine Research Foundation says migraine is currently the sixth most disabling illness in the entire world, affecting over 9 million men and 28 million women in the US alone.

THE COLOR OF PAIN is a brave, brutally honest and luminous memoir for fans of Jaouad’s Between Two Kingdoms and Peterson’s Adorning the Dark.
