Aurelia Bowers loves writing things that make sense to them. What they know is the feeling of isolation; good and bad. They know old friends and the smell of coffee from the next room; fallen branches and purring cats. They know how to make things work in favor of literature, no matter the context. Also, the distinct feeling of putting your hand in a jar and not being able to get it out (which has never happened to them. Never. Promise!).
