Ashley-Nichole was raised by her mother and stepmother in Ft. Myers, Florida, but it wasn't until she became a stepmom, herself, that she drew inspiration for her first children's book, Wicked Awesome Stepmother.
She is passionate about creating stories that will give a voice to children and families of non-traditional backgrounds by sharing messages of inclusion, understanding, empathy and kindness.
She currently resides in Newnan, Georgia with her partner, Eric, her two step-daughters and two (crazy but cute) Australian Shepherds, Rocco and Dolly.
When she isn’t writing children's books or traveling to far off places, you will find her thrifting, crafting or simply spending good old-fashioned quality time with her family.
