Ryliana has been writing since childhood and was rarely seen without a book within arm’s reach. Though life pulled her away from that dream for a while, one quiet day she decided to ask herself, “Why not?” That question sparked the creation of her debut series, Lost Secrets of Mictoriel, a sweeping high fantasy laced with mystery and a touch of romance.

She lives in North Carolina with her husband and dreams of the children they hope to welcome one day. When she isn’t exploring the world of Mictoriel, Ryliana can be found curled up with a good book or baking something sweet in her kitchen.
