My name is Ashley. I have a passion for words, and I’ve heard many times that I am very ambitious.

I started making books as soon as I learned how to write and wrote my first novel at age 14, self-publishing it at age 16. I completed 8 manuscripts before the age of 24, and also was offered my first book contract at age 24. I always knew I wanted to be a novelist, and I worked hard for years to achieve this goal. And now, it has really paid off.

I live in the country in Maine with my husband and baby girl, right down the road from a farm.

For more about me and my accomplishments, please see the My Books section.

Feel free to take a look around this site, and let me know if you have any questions at all. See the What I Can Do For You section to see what services I offer and my affordable rates.

A few more interesting facts:

I also used to be a full-time book editor (now I’m too busy publishing and writing so most of the time I send my client’s editing to my fabulous editor) and I have a certificate from Proofread Anywhere.

I’ve also been a finalist in writing contests.

Amish Under Fire was a Top 55 Semi Finalist in the Harlequin SYTYCW contest 2015.

Undercover Amish was a finalist in the Maine Romance Writers Contest in 2015 with 26 out of 27 points.
