Ariel Wilkerson began her writing career after moving from her hometown of Richmond, Virginia. Her fresh start in a new environment with new people allowed her to focus on her talents and dreams. She has a background in early childhood education, which inspired her to write a children's book series. Riley and How It All Started is the first book on her path to becoming a great writer. Teaching and working with young children has always been her passion, and now writing has become another passion of hers. Ariel is so excited to see where this blessed journey takes her in the future. Reading, watching movies, and spending time with family and friends are just a few of her hobbies.
