Aricka Alexander

Aricka Alexander (Arii A.) is an author from Louisiana who has been writing fiction stories and poems for over 15 years now. Ever since middle school, she has always had a love for reading and writing. In 7th grade, she started writing poetry, and that quickly transitioned into writing short stories over the next year. By the time she was 15, she'd written her first full-length novel. For years, she would write stories off and on until she took a step back. In early 2023, she found her love for writing and has written and self-published over 13 books since then, working toward releasing more in the future and expanding her catalog. Most of her books fall into the categories of either Young Adult Romance or Queer Adult Romance. When she's not writing, she enjoys catching up on the latest movies and rooting for her favorite WNBA teams. Aricka also identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community and wrote her first sapphic love story in 2023. Her goal is and always has been to empower and inspire teens, young adults, and adults with her stories, just like how she was inspired by the books she read back in high school all those years ago.
