Queer all Year: Learn more about the queer representation in my fantasy romance books
When I started my pandemic-lockdown-era creative writing project that would become Roots in Ink I knew I wanted a queer normative world.
Keep readingUnsure if Roots in Ink is for you? I get it.
If it helps, you can read the first 5 chapters for zero dollars if you sign up for my newsletter.
The best part? Only newsletter subscribers can read the bonus scene and the creepy short story that inspired the novel.

Whaddya say?

I’m Ariella. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
When I’m not battling demons, the patriarchy, or laundry, you can find me writing contemporary and fantasy romance books with middle-aged, bisexual, ADHD characters. Those characters bang a lot so if you’re under 18 or not a fan of that sort of thing click away now.
I’ve also got this blog called The Dopamine Trail because I have an unrelenting desire to put words out into the void. I’ll tell you about author life and my garden and any other random shit I feel like writing about. It’s chaos over there. But the good kind.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you stick around a while and join my mailing list before you go.
