---

Aino Aura Järvinen is a Tulsa-born ghoul and author of dark, gritty tales. After escaping the cult in which she was raised, and which nearly ended her life, Aino began writing to process trauma. 

She creates genre-bending novels that weave myth and fantasy into the real world. Her stories feature characters who overcome traumatic events and conquer their own limiting beliefs as well as physical monsters. 

Her debut short story, "Coin-Operated Boy," appears in Issue 014 of Dark Matter Magazine (as Aia Järvinen). "Cat's Eye," appears in Dark Matter Magazine's Halloween Special Issue 003 (as Aia Järvinen).

She won a santoku for the best knife skills in her culinary class, has been a vineyard operative, theatre stage manager, film extra, and worked for an indie soap company. 

She shares a birthday with author Billy Martin (A.K.A. Poppy Z. Brite). 

Aino lives in Oklahoma with her partner and fur goblin.
