Long time artist and author Ari'el Holland writes very raw, fun, and dramatic adventure stories. Her characters are clever and fearless, but in real life, Ari'el is afraid of clowns, cockroaches, and going up stairs when it is dark behind her. Let's face it. Ari'el wouldn't last five minutes in one of her books. 

She currently lives with her family in Malaysia and usually pens ideas in her bed while cuddling her many plushies.
