Hi, I’m Ashley!
romantasy that hurts as much as it heals
I’m a serial daydreamer with a passion for emotionally damaging romantasy.
You’ll find my stories set in otherworldly places, featuring flawed characters who grapple with trauma and their sense of belonging in their journeys—all with healthy pinches of spice, of course. I have a soft spot for slow burns, found family, and basically anyone to lovers, so you can count on finding elements of those (& more!) in my books.
When I’m not writing until I lose all sense of time and space, you can find me reading all genres of romance, gaming with my partner, or entertaining our two ferrets in beautiful Calgary, Alberta.

Frequently Asked Questions
Currently my eBooks are available exclusively on amazon (to purchase, or included free in a Kindle Unlimited subscription). For physical copies, most major retailers (including Amazon, Indigo, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones etc) have listings available. I also work with a few indie canadian booksellers, and you can find the most up to date list in my linktree.
Please note, any website’s claiming to offer free PDF’s or eBooks of mine are doing so without my permission (aka: pirating) and those websites are incredibly harmful to authors. I have an exclusivity arrangement with Amazon and my eBooks will only be found there.
If you are in a situation where you cannot afford an ebook, please reach out to me instead of resorting to pirating a stolen file.
For Bookstores interested in wholesale:
I’m happy to report that I have a form just for this! Please fill it out here and I will get back to you asap.
My local indie stores, Slow Burn Books & The Forbidden Library, carry signed copies of my books. Please double check with them before ordering, though.
Outside of that, I offer signed bookplates through my Etsy store, and am always happy to sign anything you bring to an event!
They sure are! The books vary a bit in their individual spice levels (which is also subject to interpretation based on the individual reading them!) but they all have open door, explicit scenes & language, and are intended for adult audiences only.
Yes, they do, but not pertaining to the romantic relationship between the main characters.
The dark themes in my books come from topics like addiction, abuse, mental health struggles, generational trauma, loss of loved ones etc. You can find find content warnings for each specific book here.
It’s also worth mentioning my books will NEVER have animal abuse or death of a pet.
I firmly believe that Generative AI as we know it has no place in any industry, and I will never knowingly use it in any portion of my author business. This includes my writing process, creating/commissioning character art, marketing content etc.
Not only are most Generative AI programs trained on stolen content from real humans who did not license out their use, AI Data Centers are incredibly harmful to the environment and disproportionally impact the marginalized populations in the areas they are built.
Keep an eye on my instagram! I’ll post any and all updates about recruitment opportunities there.
