Aliya DalRae

Aliya DalRae is the author of the Jessica Sweet Trilogy and the new Fallen Cross Legion Series, both Paranormal Romance. In addition, she has penned the Urban Fantasy Fallen Cross Pack series and several UF shorts. Aliya is currently working on a YA series as well as a collection of children's books. Of course, the remaining Legion books are still her main focus.\n\nBorn and raised in a farming community in rural Southwest Ohio, Aliya grew up a middle child, with an older and younger brother. Surrounded by corn and cows, it was not unusual for Aliya to immerse herself in books, her way of escaping the humdrum small town life to visit fantastic lands full of mystery, myth and legend. And of course, romance.\n\nAliya’s first love was musical theater, and as a teenager dreamed of one day performing on Broadway. Her early writing consisted mostly of poetry and songs. Those dreams were put on hold, as life intervened (as life often does), and she moved on with other pursuits.\n\nAfter graduation, and a brief time living in England, Aliya returned to her home town, where she worked mainly in administrative positions, but her love for books never waned.\n\nIn 1992, Aliya met her immortal beloved, and they have been inseparable ever since. When not weaving romantic tales, she can be found working side by side with her husband in their furniture restoration business, where she weaves caned chairs instead.\n
