Ashlynn grew up in Southern California, where she spent most of her youth writing stories and drawing maps of places that didn't exist. 

 

​At eighteen, she moved to Hollywood, purchased a motorcycle, and became a stunt double. Ashlynn began writing for herself after the writer's strike halted studio production. She mainly wrote screenplays until Tiny Owl Workshop, a micro-publisher based in Brisbane, published her award-winning short story, The Westbury Faery. 

 

She submitted her first book, The Jasper, on Wattpad, where she became a featured writer and won a Watty Award. This platform reignited her interest in writing books for a living.

 

After the pandemic, Ashlynn gave up her apartment, possessions, and job to travel the world and pursue a full-time writing career. She is revising her debut novel, Blood Lies, and is querying agents.
