About Arielle

Previously an elementary teacher, Arielle Haughee (Hoy) is a multi-genre author living in the Orlando area. She has a serious reading addiction, fantasy romance her absolute favorite, and loves nothing more than good conversation paired with a good wine. She is surrounded by males at home—a husband, two sons, and an energetic dog—and tries to integrate as much purple and flowers in the house as possible.

Arielle is a three-time RPLA-winning multi-genre author and the owner of Orange Blossom Publishing. She is also the Contest Coordinator and an Associate Coach at Writer’s Atelier writing studio, as well as a judge for the Royal Palm Literary Awards. Arielle is an active member of SCBWI, IBPA, and the Florida Writer's Association.
