edit data

Ashley W. Slaughter was born in south Louisiana and grew up amidst the sugarcane fields lining the banks of the Mississippi River. She received her bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Louisiana-Monroe in 2018 and worked as a veterinary assistant and wildlife biologist before pursuing her career as an author.
