About

Ari Roper is an Aussie author from the misty edges of New South Wales, where the storms roll loud, the coffee is always iced (even in winter), and the local magpies know her by name. She writes romantasy novellas that bite—filled with sarcastic witches, emotionally unavailable monster boyfriends, and plots that spiral gloriously out of control.

​

Raised in a chaotic household with two older sisters, a conspiracy-theorist uncle, and a family cat named Lucifer (who absolutely did knock over a Ouija board once), Ari learned early that storytelling was her safest escape—and sharp wit was her survival skill. Her best friend Jade still texts her plot hole theories at 2am, and her mum thinks every single one of her characters needs therapy. She’s not wrong.

​

When she's not writing, Ari is usually holed up with a tarot deck, a stack of morally grey book boyfriends, or DMing chaotic fantasy campaigns where no one follows the plot. She’s powered by sarcasm, sour candy, and Spotify playlists that go from orchestral rage to “accidentally in love” in under thirty seconds.

She believes in banter as foreplay, villains who kiss like liars, and happily-ever-afters that involve a little bloodshed.
