Learn all about me

Hello! My name is Aiyana (some call me Cherry). I'm 22 and working on my debut novel, 'Everlasting Spotlight'.

I was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I've always been drawn to writing and creating my own worlds since first grade. I enjoy writing themes that explore identity, queer relationships/experiences, societal pressures on women, etc. My writing blends elements such as emotional depth, symbolism, and lyrical prose to create stories that will resonate with readers long after they turn the final page.

When not writing, I can be found dancing around my house to music, defending my favorite movies online as my life depends on it, and kicking my feet to the most romantic fanfic I've ever read.

My debut novel, 'Everlasting Spotlight', is still a work in progress, but I'm aiming for release this year (2026). The story explores a 6-member idol group and the obstacles they face in the spotlight that'll either break them or make them a better version of who they were before.

I've worked on 'Everlasting Spotlight' for nearly five years, and I'm excited to finally share this story with readers around the world!
