Aidan Donnelley Rowley doesn't apologize for her long name. It is, simply, her name: first, maiden and married. Period. Aidan has been a lawyer and is now a mother of three, a novelist and a blogger. She was born in New York City and resides there today—all in the same neighborhood: the Upper West Side.
Aidan received her BA from Yale and her law degree from Columbia (also on the Upper West Side). She practiced law for a large corporate firm but departed once she realized she wanted to write full-time.
In 2009, she started her blog, then called "Ivy League Insecurities," as a haven to write and to share "bits and pieces" of herself. The blog is now called "ADR," and Aiden continues to try out ideas surrounding identity, motherhood, marriage, family and loss—the big issues that make up our lives.
Aidan's first novel, Life After Yes, was published in 2010. Her second novel, The Ramblers, came out in 2016. Both novels are set in New York. (Adapted from the author's blog.)
