ALYANNA YVENICE MIGUEL or Aly, for short, is a junior student of Bachelor of Arts in English Studies major in Communication Arts at the Mariano Marcos State University, Batac, Ilocos Norte. She is camera-vain, obsessive-compulsive and constantly paranoid. She refuses to go outside daylight when she's not fully dressed and primmed. Her motto? "You just never know who you'll see." Besides that, she baffles and talks a lot.

She believes that writing is her first love. On the other hand, she is an altruistic person and is passionate with things around her. She dreams her works to be recognized and her mission in life is to make a big change. She doesn't hold grudges or hatred. She believes that nature is her instrument of liberty.

Lastly, she waits for the boy who would change her life forever like in the movies. Loony, really.

BENIGHTED is a compilation of her works from free-verse poems, sonnets, short stories and monologues.

Meanwhile, THE AZURE BUTTERFLY is her first published novel.
