Ariel Dalziel lives with her wife and four fur babies, in lovely Denver, Colorado. An almost-native of the state, she has a BA in English Literature from CU Boulder and works for an Educational Technology company. From a family full of teachers, Ariel was exposed to history, a love of the written word, and various nerddoms like Star Trek, LotR, and Star Wars. At a young age, she listened to iconic works by Isaac Asimov, C.S. Lewis and Edgar Rice Borroughs, read by her father. Later, she collected favorites such as Mercedes Lackey, Tamora Pierce, and Jacqueline Carey. Inspired by a lifetime of reading books, she has been writing stories almost as long. Now in her spare time, she watches Netflix, supports the poly/kinky/queer community, and plays video games. Working from home, Ariel has previously published “Bluebeard’s Ghost” in Leather Ever After, with Circlet Press and the Hidden Gods series through Kindle Direct Publishing.
