About Me

Hello! My name is Aleia. I’d love to share a little bit about myself, my writing style, and my previous writing experience.

Writing History

Writing has always been a passion of mine since early childhood. Growing up, my favorite movies and TV shows had a large influence on what I wrote about. I wrote of epic adventures with my favorite characters- namely, Indiana Jones and Captain Kirk. I was writing fanfiction before I was even familiar with the term! Between the ages of twelve and thirteen, I wrote a full story of Don Diego De La Vega’s quest to subdue the corrupt Capitán Monastario’s tyrannical rule over 19th-century Los Angeles (based on Disney’s Zorro). That was the first long work I completed, and I’m still proud of it to this day!

As a teenager, I continued writing regularly. I started sharing some of my works on Wattpad; I loved the writing community and gained a couple of hundred followers. Although it wasn’t much, it furthered my desire to share my writings with the world and provided me with valuable writing experience. I still enjoyed writing a good fanfiction here and there, but my writing style began to evolve to other avenues. I loved reading high-fantasy novels, such as The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and Eragon. I was drawn to these mythological worlds and started creating my own. I discovered a deep love for poetry while reading classic works by authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and I also began writing poetry. After having children, I developed a newfound love for children’s literature and started focusing my efforts towards writing lyrical children’s books.

Current Writings

I have always been a fan of traditional nursery rhymes and the magic they contained. I enjoyed the writings of authors such as Dr Seuss and Roald Dahl, and my books reflect a similar style of writing. Stories of magic and adventure have always appealed to me. Similarly, fantasy and whimsy are important parts of my writing; many of my completed works reflect this. In addition to fantasy, many of my stories contain virtue and life lessons while still being entertaining. I enjoy writing both rhyming and non-rhyming stories for all ages. Recently, I have been focusing on writing children’s books; however, I still dabble in adult literature. I am actually in the process of writing an epic fantasy series for adults that I'm very excited about! I would like to continue to write a mixture of both children and adult books in the future. Although I currently focus a bit more on children’s books, I write stories that can be understood and enjoyed by children and adults alike. I think it’s important for adults to enjoy the books they read to their children, and I strive to write books that will be loved and appreciated by people of all ages.

I have many completed books that I look forward to sharing with the world! Writing new stories and books is an important part of my everyday life. I am working towards a career as a published author.

All of my works are written solely by myself. I absolutely do NOT utilize A.I. in any form. I strongly believe that humans are (and have always been!) clever enough to produce incredible entertainment on their own, and that A.I. is strictly unnecessary in the publishing industry.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my journey to becoming an author. I appreciate your support, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me!
