Ari has always loved romance, the hotter the better. Turning up the heat level in her own writing involved closing her eyes as she typed the "good" parts, but soon she got used to using "those" words and was pleased with the result. Finding out that others enjoyed it, too, was icing on the cake!

Her stories are split between light contemporary and paranormal genres, with some BDSM in the mix for good measure. She enjoys being in a metaphysical world filled with shapeshifters and psychic gifts, but some stories just insist that sex and romance is enough.

Also writing as Aileen Fish, Ari is a member of RWA, including several chapters, and continues to work with her critique partners to make her stories the best they can be.
