I just signed a 3 book deal with City Owl Press for my vampire romance, Forever After! It's the first book in the Love Bites Vampire Reality Show series and I am SO excited! I can't wait for y'all to meet Autumn and Oliver. Check out the blurb below:
Autumn Reid is in a rut. At nearly thirty years old, she hasn’t ventured outside her sleepy Georgia town of Covey Crossing. When her father sees an ad for a new dating show, Forever After, she jumps on the chance. It’s a dating show with a twist, featuring a vampire bachelor. Sure, the winner gets the choice of cash or immortality, but Autumn doesn’t expect to make it that far. She just needs a shakeup, something outside of the box instead of the same four walls she’s grown up in. She certainly doesn’t expect the infuriatingly handsome vampire duke. Oliver Gray is an impoverished duke who desperately needs money to save his estate. When he’s offered the chance to become the bachelor on Forever After, he accepts. There’s a catch—he has to wear Victorian clothing from the era during which he turned. Fine. He could don one more top hat. What he struggles to figure out is the alluring human with a smart mouth. But he can’t seem to send her home, especially after he realizes she’s his mate. Love isn’t the only plot twist on Forever After. Contestants are being murdered one by one, and a vampire is to blame. Who’s killing off the contestants, and better yet, why? Oliver and Autumn’s dreams of forever after are cut short when the killer decides Autumn’s next. Find out what happens on the next episode of Forever After.

After what feels like a thousand rejections and several novels later, it's finally happened! Someone read one of my novels and connected with the characters, with the story! Charissa Weaks, an editor at City Owl Press, read the novel and offered me a three book contract for the series. To say I'm walking on air would be a serious understatement. This has been my dream since I was in elementary school, since my mom took me to the public library to check out huge stacks of books. The road here wasn't easy--there were definitely times when I wanted to quit, when I felt I wasn't good enough, but my wonderful husband kept encouraging me to persevere. Now I'm so glad I did. I can't wait for y'all to meet Amalie and Julian. They are my favorite characters I've ever written...although I'm working on Book 2 and I love those characters as well, hee hee.
I'm so thankful for God answering my prayers, for each and every person who has made this moment possible. I've got a thank you list a mile long and can't wait to write it for my book's acknowledgements page. If you're out there and chasing your dream, keep going, keep dreaming! You can do this! Love, Ashley |
