Small town contemporary romance author Ashley Kay lives just outside of the bright lights of Las Vegas with her husband, their little girl, and one very rambunctious pitbull named Porkchop. She’s a former pastry chef who loves crafting found-family stories that bring people from different walks of life together while testing the boundaries of love.

When she’s not writing, you can usually find her hunting for a new pizza spot around the city with her family or planning her next high tea date with friends. But you'll most likely catch her plugged into her headphones, blasting metal while looking for new textured pens and planner stickers to add to her collection.
