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.

Ashley Sheikh liked Joyce's review of Kentucky Blood: A Southern Gothic Psychological Thriller Series (Kentucky Blood Series Book 1): "This novel grabbed me and just kept tightening its grip. It’s dark, tense, and way more layered than I expected. The characters were what really did it for me. Nobody’s flat or predictable. The Kentucky setting and the ’90s era Easter eggs were delici" Read more of this review »

Ashley Sheikh and 2 other people liked Damien Babington's review of Kentucky Blood: A Southern Gothic Psychological Thriller Series (Kentucky Blood Series Book 1): "I've never read a book like this. It's got thriller vibes, but it's a southern gothic saga, and a little bit of horror all at the same time. Also feels like the TV show LOST with the dual timeline and all the flashbacks.
