The People

It all begins with…

Rose Ari Wynde

Rose Ari Wynde is a historian, genetic genealogist, and unapologetically neurodivergent storyteller with too many degrees and even more hyperfixations.

Her academic focus spans 19th-century social history—from the borderlands of New York State to the bayous of Louisiana and every overlooked place in between. Rooted in personal bloodlines and lived experience, her work traces the complex, often erased lineages of those marginalized by race, class, gender, religion, and fractured kinship systems.

She is the author of The Cursed Ones series, a YA urban fantasy saga that fuses supernatural mythology, historical resonance, and radical neurodivergent visibility. Her stories center the silenced, the mistaken, and the unseen—those who survived not because they were chosen, but because they refused to disappear.

Gen X to the bone, she’s sarcastic, solitary, and allergic to pastel book covers. She writes barefoot, in a frayed hoodie, with a can of Coke, a bowl of tuna wiggle, and her Ta-Da journal always within reach. Her space is a chaos of books, archival records, maps, notes, and doodles.

Her life has been both blessed and burned—but she’s never alone. Her service dog, Lola, a rescue Pibble who wears her own scars like a crown, is always by her side.
