Ashley is the author of the award-winning Kentucky Blood series, a gritty, uncompromising Southern Gothic saga that explores complex characters and raw emotion. Raised in the rural enclaves of western Kentucky, he survived for 11 years in Tokyo’s cutthroat corporate world and now splits his time between countries. He’s always had a soft spot for the bad guys in stories and hopes his books will make you feel the same.
