We asked Ashley some questions and here are her answers:
Q1: What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My debut novel is called Denim Blues, it is part of a Montana Heirs collection, there will be three in total.

Q2: What are five words that describe your writing process?
Slow, Methodical, Plotted, Linear and Passionate
Q3: What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love ready Colleen Hoover (of course!) Vi Keeland, and Penelope Ward. They are my one click buys every time no matter what. I love their style of writing and the stories are always intriguing. I’m influenced by books that make me feel a tremendous amount of feelings where I walk around dazed for days.

Fault in our Stars—I vividly remember crying like a baby. As a kid, I cried reading Tuck Everlasting. I wanted them to be together forever so bad.

Denim Blues: Montana Heirs 1
BLURB:
Some rules are meant to be broken.
One night in college is all it took to change everything, to destroy my life as I knew it … all at the hands of my twin brother. I walked away from the aftermath, never looking back, regretting nothing.
Seven years later, we’re thrust back together following the tragic death of our father. All the loathing and hatred bubbles back to the surface when an ultimatum is woven into the last will and testament; work alongside him for a year and repair our tarnished relationship, or risk losing our entire inheritance.
Having no other choice, I pack up my life in Manhattan, leave my swanky penthouse and fly to a small town in Montana armed with only my Armani suits and cocky attitude as ammunition.
Reconciling with my brother is the least of my worries when I meet Savannah, ‘Savy’, Martin. The sassy archery trainer is hellbent on turning me into a cowboy despite my obvious aversion to anything outdoorsy. Falling for her country charm and sharp wit should be out of the question considering she’s best friends with my brother, but after one fiery kiss, my tightly wound reservations and edicts disintegrate in a cloud of dust.
But, when the past doesn’t stay in the past, and relationships are tested, will our love for each other be enough?
In this small-town romance, secrets and unbridled passion are unleashed directly into the wild, wild west setting all the rules on fire.
