About Ariel

Ariel Choate spent her childhood and teenage years with a love of storytelling, often staying up late after family movie night to watch the behind the scenes footage of her favorite movies like The Lord of the Rings, The Avengers, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Thus began her love of creative exploration in fan fiction; writing about her favorite books or movies with her own twist on them. She writes for the twenty-something who still yearns for adventure in spectacular fantasy or sci-fi worlds with hope and light shining through them. When not writing, Ariel often enjoys a cup of coffee, doodling characters in the margins of her notebooks, or listening to spectacular stories via audio books.
