I'm a 28 year old science major, but I've had a passion for reading and writing since I was a little girl. Reading has always been an escape for me and has gotten me through some seriously tough times in my life. I came up with the idea of The Atheil Chronicles when I was a junior in high school but it took almost 10 more years for me to really expand the story of Ariana into one that I knew had to be told. My hope with this series is to show that our pasts don't have to define us and that it's what we do moving forward that truly shows who we are.
