Hello, and welcome to my site! My name is Ashton E. Irby. I am an aspiring author from Tennessee and am currently building my writing and editing career. I enjoy fiction and creative nonfiction that engages with the Christian faith.
Some of my favorite books include the Mitford Series by Jan Karon, the Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas, and When We Were On Fire by Addie Zierman. I also love Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë and Emma by Jane Austen.
My goal is and always will be to help people. When I was a middle school girl burying her nose in a book to avoid the awkward social interactions going on in the classroom around me, I decided that I would write books to provide an escape for people and give them hope. My mom spent those years attempting to pre-read everything in case there was something in it too strong for my young mind, but she couldn’t always keep up, and the real world isn’t a pretty place. So, I decided to write books that any age could read, but I still wanted to write well and honestly.
