An English literature teacher by trade and bookworm at heart, Aria Mossi lives in rural Suffolk. However, her cosmopolitan ethnic background makes her feel like a citizen of the world, including the alien worlds she is so fond of. These days, Aria has swapped her passion for teaching with writing and busy family life. When she's not chasing fantastical creatures, she attends to her magical English garden. Aria says she would be far more efficient at both if not for her beloved children and their "pick me syndrome". The Tarrassian Saga was a long-time coming adventure and a journey of self-discovery. Aria's characters are praise to our Humanity. A keen observer of human nature, Aria noticed that the people who survive the most traumatic events put others at the front of their minds. Her books are a reminder of our infinite resilience, our carry-on spirit and our passions. I grew up with my grandmothers' inspiring stories and inherited their love for reading. A real-life person has inspired every single one of my books. Each new story brings closure and heals in a way only our imagination can.
