Aria Rose is a high/epic fantasy author focusing on extensive world building, dynamic plots, and realistic characters. Aria has an addiction to coffee, cats, and reading obscene amounts of fanfiction. She tends to get distracted easily, is bad at peopling, so if she's not lost in a book (...or fanfiction) then she'll be running away with her imagination. When she's not doing that, she's spending time with her husband, daughter, and two cats: Thor and Loki.

​

Aria has a B.S. in Criminology and Criminal Justice, and previous coursework in Forensic Science, Behavioural Psychology, and Cybersecurity. Before becoming an author, Aria worked as a Correctional Officer in a jail where she met her husband, a fellow CO. She started writing just for fun when she was little and continued to create stories for years until finally sitting down to finish and publish a book under her romance penname A.J. Macey back in 2018!
