ABOUT ARIELE SIELING

For those of you that are in a hurry, here is a short version of my About Me in haiku form: 

I am Ariele
I write books and carry ducks
My two cats are weird

For those of you who have a little more time or want to know a bit more about me, here are a few more details.

  • I have dozens of books published: more about them here.

  • If you want to financially support my work (and get some fun insider info), you can find me over on Patreon.

  • I do not own the ducks—my parents own the ducks.

  • I have lived in NY (upstate), NC, NH, MD, and now am in PA.

  • I like to plant things.

  • I like to volunteer! I spent two years working at a soup kitchen and still manage their website; facilitated a writers group’ for a retirement association for two years; taught English as a second language for one year; volunteered for a Baltimore-based literary non-profit; fostered cats; and currently volunteer for Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue.

  • My coworkers are absurdly ineffective.

  • Terry Pratchett is my favorite author (along with Douglas Adams, Diana Wynne Jones, Trudi Canavan, Neil Gaiman, Tamora Pierce, Zoe Cannon, and Carl Sagan).

  • I have two brothers, two parents, one grandparent, two cats, one dog, and one spouse.

  • I tried to write this page in alliterative prose and failed. This is as far as I got: "Being brainy, bright, and brilliant from birth, I wasted no week; I began building works, writing word after word for burgeoning books."

  • Not all of my writing costs money! Here are some links:
