Ariadne Tay brings the East to audiences of the West, bridging the cultural gap in fiction with her unique perspective. Striving to create an experience with her writing, she drags readers into her world with zero regard for their feelings. Those who have read her works have commented that she’s great with hot scenes, humour, and hot scenes with humour. That being said, her multidimensional characters have personalities that extend past stuffing reproductive sausages into ham wallets, and they might even make you cry.

At some point in her younger years, Ariadne wanted to be a neurosurgeon, a software engineer, and a game designer, but decided that neither attending med school nor debugging code were fun. Instead, she went to journalism school for her master’s degree, then got paid to write nonfiction pieces for a print magazine. She now uses those wordsmithing skills to make readers feel things about people who don’t exist.

Anette was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and now lives in Kent, UK with her husband and three children.

She wrote her first book after asking herself a simple question. She pondered on it for a few days then just had to write it down and, without even realizing it, the beginnings of a book had formed. The question was, ‘How would someone react if they died and woke up to find they were a ghost?’ The end result was a book titled Love in the Wrong Dimension, a love story told from the perspective of a ghost.

Anette self-published the book in 2011 before writing her second book, Gowns of the Haunted. Then, in 2016, she decided to rewrite Love in the Wrong Dimension, and this time she submitted it to a publisher. She is delighted that they accepted it and will be released later this year by Totally Bound Publishing. It’s still the same story, but it has been polished up and has a new title, Love in Another Dimension.

Anette has always been fascinated by ghosts and has had several paranormal experiences in the past. She combines this interest with her fondness for a good love story, which is where she gets the inspiration for her romantic ghost stories. At present, she is busy planning her next book, which will be set in a haunted hotel.

She loves the 4 C’s: cats, chocolate, champagne, and coffee. When she’s not writing she spends her time as a glorified taxi driver for her children and even finds time now and then to indulge in her interests, which include Tai Chi, dance, music, aviation, and reading.

I fell in love with “Choose Your Own Adventure” books as a youngster, and it brought my life full circle to create an updated version of them as an adult. I come from a screenwriting background with a passion for role-playing. I currently live in the LA area and have two daughters, one of whom (the only one old enough to read) loves to play Tales stories.
