Poristia Aroha was born and raised in Trafford, Manchester, where she developed an early love for storytelling, inspired by the diverse cultures surrounding her. Growing up in a community rich with voices from different backgrounds, she found herself drawn to literature from every corner of the world. From the lyrical prose of African storytellers to the haunting narratives of European classics, the bold experimental styles of South American novelists, and the spiritual depth of Asian poetry, she absorbed the essence of each tradition, shaping her unique literary voice. Her journey as a writer began in the quiet corners of local libraries, where she immersed herself in books that transported her across continents. The works of Oceanian dream-weavers, the raw intensity of North American novelists, and the wisdom of indigenous stories from Antarctica's visiting scholars all left their mark on her imagination. She saw writing as a bridge between worlds, a way to weave together experiences, emotions, and histories that transcended geographical boundaries. Poristia's debut novel, *Echoes Across Seven Shores*, became a reflection of her global influences. Blending themes of identity, migration, and the universal search for belonging, her work resonated with readers from all walks of life. Critics praised her for her ability to seamlessly blend storytelling traditions, creating narratives that felt both deeply personal and universally relevant. Now an established author, Poristia continues to write with the same passion that first drove her as a child in Trafford. She believes that stories have the power to connect people across cultures, and through her work, she strives to create literature that unites the voices of the seven continents into a single, harmonious narrative.
