Discover the Next Generation of Christian Storytellers…
Featuring A’riana Sophia
A certified book-devourer, A’riana is known for reading up to six novels in one day. She realized early on that the world is short on the types of stories she loves—so she set out to fill that need by writing cozy YA contemporary stories that leave readers just plain old happy.
When her fingers aren’t flying across the keyboard, you can find A’riana painting her bathroom walls, learning how to rebind her paperbacks into hardcover, or bursting into hysterical laughter about the randomest things.

About Her Short Story
Two Sesquipedalians on the Greyhound Bus
Jeffery is terrified of travel, but he’s promised to visit his sister this summer, and his orderly brain refuses to back out—no matter how scared he is of crashing, dying, or getting lost . . . a five hour bus ride holds many dangers. As he feared, nothing goes according to plan; he ends up with an overly-cheerful seatmate (a girl, no less) and the trip is full of mishaps. Can he make it to his sister’s house safely, even when faced with his worst enemy—disorganization?
