Aariel Gallo has spent her life immersed in the arts—writing, painting, dancing, and composing stirring stories. Her creative journey began in childhood, when her father read her fairy tales. These tales of wonder, danger, and transformation lit a spark that continues to drive her today.

Drawn to the darker corners of folklore, Gallo has always favored stories where the stakes are real and the monsters bite. She believes the fantasy genre offers more than escape—it offers a mirror. In fantastical realms, readers can confront loss, belonging, depression, and trauma through metaphor and magic. In these worlds, dragons and shadows become vessels for truth—and triumph.

Gallo lives in Southern California with her husband and children, where she loves to read, sketch, or watch films across every genre. Currently, she is developing projects for the screen and continuing to expand her ever-growing body of written and visual work.
