Hi, and thank you for visiting my website. I hope it gives you a little insight into the writer behind the books.
When I was 14 years old, my aunt put a Sweet Dreams book in my hands, and I've been hooked on romance ever since.
When I was 15 I wrote my first novella and a number of short stories. I still have a copy of them, and to this day I still find it fun to go back and reread them. See how far I have come as a writer.
When I finished high school I put too much stock in one person's opinion of my writing and their thoughts on my talent. I put the typewriter away and got on with building a life and making a living. Writing never strayed too far from my mind and in my 20's I wrote two more novellas.
In my 30's I had my 2 beautiful boys. Between raising 2 boys, and a demanding job in the banking industry, it didn't leave time for much else. But then, I thought of my boys and what I wanted for them was to be happy, healthy, and to follow their dreams. How could I encourage them to follow their dreams when I hadn't done that myself? So, I tried my hand at a novel, and the result is my first published novel, An Unexpected Guest.
Since then I have also written my second published novel, Finding Home. And I am working on the next one.
My novels are filled with the interesting people I have met along the way, events that have happened to me, some embellished, and some understated, and just a little sprinkling of me in there as well.
All I can say is, never stop chasing your dream, and it's never too late to find your passion.
I'd love to hear from you, so, please feel free to contact me at ashtonryan1226@gmail.com
