With her reading interests stretching from Louis L’Amour’s old west to science fiction, fantasy, romance, and a smattering of other genres; it’s no wonder she ended up with an imagination vivid enough to write her own books. She thinks of herself as a writer, introvert, and a bit of a geek. And happily, embraces it all. She also writes indie short story fiction online with some amazing writers and great people. Family is important to Arlie, and she loves spending time with her daughters and their families. Living in a tiny apartment through the pandemic, she developed a green thumb and a love for the Oak Island television show. She votes for the templars as her favorite theory for who hid the treasure. Arlie has a New Media Production and Design Diploma and has spent many happy hours designing graphics for her stories. Her first book, a science fiction/fantasy novel called The Way Maker, was shortlisted for the Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize 2022, in the Romance category.
