Aya is from Taiwan, where she struggles daily to contain her obsession with mouthwatering and unhealthy foods. Often she will devour a good book instead. Her favorite books include martial arts romances, fairy tale retellings, high fantasy, cozy mysteries, and manga.

Her latest work is a three-book series featuring gender-swapped characters in fairy tales. The first one, Till Midnight, retells The Twelve Dancing Princesses, in which there are twelve princes instead of princesses. She’s working on the next book, a retelling of The Beauty and the Beast, featuring a heroine with the appearance of a demon and a hero who’s famous for his beauty.
