Ashley grew up on a cattle ranch in Colorado where she spent many hours surrounded by beautiful countryside and wonderful animals. Her passion for animals continues to inspire her writing today. She also enjoys reading as many books as she can find, mostly about fantasy/elves/dragons/knights and good winning over evil and cuddling as many furry animals as possible! Ashley hopes to inspire readers of all age to believe in themselves, and encourage each other to find the gifts that set them apart. She believes our Lord and Savior created us all with amazing talents to be shared with one another!
