Bound by Ink

A Scions of Belhaven novella

Amora scribe and herbal alchemist Sara Cortese kept detailed diaries documenting finding love with healer Bethany Clement in the shadow of violent uprisings and attacks by malevolent creatures from another realm.

Going beyond the pages of her diaries, Bound by Ink is a Scions of Belhaven novella that brings to life Sara and Bethany’s love story.


Oh, hi!

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.

Oh and fuck genAI. If you’d like to read more about that, click here.
