Dr. Ashley Baker is a psychologist, author, and lover of all things eerie. Her debut novel, The Furious Others, flipped the serial killer narrative on its head by centering victims instead of glamorizing predators—earning praise for its sharp insight and emotional depth.

Her latest, The Ashes of Us, is a psychological thriller wrapped in barbed wire and blood ties, exploring the fine line between love and vengeance, truth and justice. Set against a rugged Southern backdrop, it’s a story as haunting as it is human.

When she’s not writing or reading, Dr. Baker can be found elbows-deep in the garden or advocating for mental health with the same fire she brings to her fiction. Her clinical experience lends authenticity and compassion to every cha

Hello Readers!

As an avid reader myself, I always say I've never met a reader I didn't like. Books have a way of connecting and transporting us, while simultaneously teaching us more about ourselves and the world around us. Who would say no to that?

But now I need readers to see my book!

Ashley Baker and 10 other people liked Katie T's review of The Bright Lands:
The Bright Lands by John Fram
"I really wanted to love this, but it never worked for me. I didn't find the mystery intriguing or thrilling. I could barely follow the plot with so many characters. I didn't know or understand any of them. I did not care about a single one of them. T" Read more of this review »

A bit trope heavy but hey I’m here for it. I liked the romance and that there weren’t crazy hurdles to overcome like most of the genre embraces. No random ways to keep them apart and it felt authentic except for some of the dialogue which was cheesy. ...more

Another good Romantasy with trials and Greek mythology! And an MC that’s not annoying! Liked the banter and the slow burn, felt the ending was a bit too neat but overall held my interest and was a solid well plotted novel

The Dog Stars by Peter Heller
"One star for this, only because I couldn't finish it. The writing style of this book drove me bat-shit crazy. In addition to no quotation marks AT ALL, here are a few examples of sentence composition.

"Who knew the end of the world could be so boring? If you want to fall asleep while reading, this is the book for you. I should have stopped reading at the 50 percent mark because the book got somehow worse. "

The Dog Stars by Peter Heller
"This book was so annoying to read.

I wanted to like it but it was hard to do so.

The staccato stream of consciousness writing very distracting. Made me want to poke my eyes out sometimes.

The best part of the book, Jasper. Gone. Barely in it.

Jonathan Safran Foer
“In bed that night I invented a special drain that would be underneath every pillow in New York, and would connect to the reservoir. Whenever people cried themselves to sleep, the tears would all go to the same place, and in the morning the weatherman could report if the water level of the Reservoir of Tears had gone up or down, and you could know if New York is in heavy boots.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

Leo F. Buscaglia
“Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, 'Did you bring joy?' The second was, 'Did you find joy?”

Madeleine L'Engle
“Love of music, of sunsets and sea; a liking for the same kind of people; political opinions that are not radically divergent; a similar stance as we look at the stars and think of the marvelous strangeness of the universe - these are what build a marriage. And it is never to be taken for granted.”
Madeleine L'Engle, Two-Part Invention: The Story of a Marriage
