A Word From The Author
Welcome to my home on the Internet. I have written 25 books in a variety of genres including Romance, Young Adult and Middle Grade before discovering my love of domestic thrillers and mysteries. Turns out that it’s fun figuring out the best places to bury a body. My latest books are co-written with a dear friend, Sally Rigby. I also work as a freelance developmental editor, mentor and book coach so if you need help getting that story out of your head and onto the page, then check out my coaching page.

What people are saying
“It’s The Lovely Bones meets Bridget Jones in this fluffy take on what happens after death.”
Publisher’s Weekly You Had Me at Halo
‘The exciting plot, humor throughout—often provided by the little fairies—and relatively innocent romance between characters will grab readers and keep them involved.’
Kirkus Fairy Bad Day
‘Ashby’s clever dialogue and familiarity with all things Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) combine to create a light and addictive tongue-in-cheek homage to both standard romance novels and all things Goth. Ashby’s deft, light tone and appreciation for the confining rigidity of high-school class structure drive this predictable yet highly entertaining tale.’
Booklist Zombie Queen of Newbury High
‘With interesting characters and a fresh plot, this absorbing read addresses everything from peer pressure to intelligent guy pals to self-reliance, with just enough paranormal activity to maintain an edge. The message never overwhelms the fun in this frothy paranormal romp.’
