I write under the pen name Xartiam, which combines "Xaria" (Hebrew for "the gift of love") and "Tiam" (Persian for "my eyes"). To me, it symbolizes "My eyes witness how love drew people into consequences, into an ever after." I've been passionate about writing since I was a teenager, but I took it more seriously in 2018. I love writing romance filled with fun, drama, heartbreak, and a bit of tragedy. My stories explore complicated, realistic relationships, where love is earned through one's actions and experiences. I believe that love reflects our past, and personal growth is key to changing how love is given and received.
