Hello, friend!

I’m Ashley, a writer of fiction and poetry.

I’m the author of The Night Fox, a young adult magical realism tale about grief, mental health, and nature told in poetry and prose.

It comes out with Rocky Pond Books at Penguin Random House on October 10th, 2023. Preorder it here.

I particularly enjoy writing young adult fiction, but love all stories whose words sing and whisper magic to the reader.

I’ve also written an illustrated young adult book of poetry, Unravel Me, and a picture book, Dark and Twisty, Bright and Breezy.

In additional to writing, I’m also an editor, musician, and artist. You can find acoustic album River, River wherever you listen to music, including Spotify and iTunes. My pottery and other art can be found over at Wild Thing Co.

When I’m not creating, I love adventuring in the mountains with my husband and my pup. We love rock climbing, hiking, camping, and just general exploring!

You can find me on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok! Head over to the “contact” section and shoot me a message. I’d love to say hello 🙂 If you’re an educator or librarian looking for a press kit, you can find it there as well!
