edit data

S. T. Ashman is an American-German writer born in Germany, calling the beautiful U.S. Seacoast her home. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and worked in the criminal justice system as a psychotherapist. That role gifted her with unique insight into the human psyche, both the beautiful and the deeply shadowed. In another life, she’d be a trench coat-wearing, mystery-solving female version of Columbo. A history and crime documentary lover to the core, she weaves mystery and history into action-packed fiction that keeps readers turning pages late into the night. While she explores different genres, her books have one thing in common: people are always shocked by the twists.

Quotes by S.T. Ashman (?)

“could stab a murderer without flinching, but the thought of clutter made me physically ill.”

“This one was made by us. He joined the military to make a difference, but he was disillusioned by the very society he aimed to protect. Returning home, he didn’t find the embrace of a grateful nation or the helping hand he needed. He found only neglect. The system that was supposed to be his safety net failed him. Your monster wasn’t born a monster. He was turned into one by our nation’s collective indifference.”
― S.T. Ashman, We Kill Killers
