Aria Emend

Aria Emend writes stories that are close to her heart—stories that are diverse and culturally rich. She’s always had a passion for reading, and dreamed of someday writing her own books. That dream came true with the publication of her first novel in the Forbidden Love Series, The Forbidden Love Affair in early 2022, and continues with her latest publication The Regrettable Decision.

Born in the Cape Verde Islands, Aria traveled to the US at age eight. Though she currently resides in Massachusetts—and has for the last forty plus years—she adores her Cape Verdean roots and cherishes her rich, traditional family values. As a wife, mother, and grandmother, she’s passed those values on to the next generation and continues to teach that love conquers all. After all, love is diverse and beautiful, and our literature should be too.
