Who I am...

Hi, I am Aria Vale - a girl who is turning her broken past and love of dark, messy, smutty stories into something others can escape into. 

 

I grew up finding solace in stories that weren't afraid to show their scars. The obsession, the love that hurts before it heals - and now I write them myself. My characters are flawed, and my worlds are sharp-edged, and my romances... well, they are anything but sweet. 

 

I believe there's beauty in the broken and power in choosing to love, even when it's hard. I believe that happy endings aren't always rainbows and butterflies, sometimes they are thorns and blood. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give ourselves, is to stop hiding from the fact that living in the dark is greatest way to feel alive. 

 

My works are not for the faint of heart. My trigger warnings should be approached with respect. My Good Girls break before they bow, and the Masters destroy the world just because they can. 

 

In between stories you can find me working a 9-5, at the local Starbucks, and always with my headphones on listening to those low deep growls from all of our favorite narrators. If I am not reading, writing, or working, you can guarantee I am listening to my favorite authors share their stories.

 

One of which gave me the courage to finally tell my stories. H.D. Carlton showed me that my dreams can be loved by more than just me. So, I want to thank her for being true to her characters and sharing their trials and tribulations with the world, without your bravery, my worlds would be lost and dormant.
