Aurelne Thian is an emerging young adult romance author based in Perth, blending love stories with a touch of magic from her Asian heritage. A lifelong reader of fantasy and romance (the sweeter, the better!) Aurelne found herself craving stories with protagonists who felt like home— balancing the worlds of Asian and Western cultures. Now, she’s on a mission to bring these voices to life. When she’s not crafting characters or dreaming up new tales, Aurelne can be found in scrubs at the hospital, sweating it out at the fencing centre, or sipping coffee with a book in hand.
