Ari is a fantasy author, avid blogger, busy entrepreneur, and cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.
Unimpressed with reality, 8-year-old Ari set out on a mission to create new exciting worlds full of demons, pirates, gods, dragons, and even a few screaming trees...and many MANY years later, she has no intention of stopping.
Her first short story, The Locksmith, was published in the 2019 anthology From Ashes to Magic, and her second short story, Sanctuary was published in 2021 in the anthology From Myths to Monsters.

The inclusion of LGBTQ+ and multicultural characters is also of importance in all of Dal’s work.
She has lived in and travelled to several countries. Ice-skating in winter, and listening to audiobooks are some of Dal’s favourite pastimes. She can be found on most social media as DalCecilRuno.
