Ashlee Shades is a Contemporary Romance author who enjoys writing sensual and hot romance stories featuring alpha bad boys, independent heroines, and sometimes, she sneaks in sweet moments between the leading characters.

Ashlee enjoys spending her days either reading when she's not writing...or hanging out on social media (as much as her husband and two teenage boys will allow). What an addiction, right?! Her reading and writing genre of choice is steamy romance.

Sometimes that helps and I find things that I can expand on in certain areas with a character or two. I also find that setting that work aside and starting a new piece can sometimes help me come up with more ideas for it.(less)

Getting Back To It

You know how life is a rollercoaster? Well, it has sure been one heck of a ride for me the last two years. From Covid (I had it twice, a severe case that left me with an IV drip), developing and struggling with depression, life changes, and finally getting a diagnosis for health issues I have been having - and that is just a few things.

I try my best to remain an upbeat, positive person because I t Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Ashlee Shades  (?)

“You have cancer."

Three words. The heaviest, darkest words I'd ever heard in my life.

"What are my options?" I asked. Numb. That's what I felt. Cold. Numb. Empty. All adjectives to describe this feeling racing through me after hearing those three words.

"We could begin chemo followed by radiation. It would prolong life by at least a year."

A year. One year filled with hospital visits, pain, and frequent visits to the porcelain throne. Do I want that?

"A year with treatment? How long if I choose nothing?"

A cold stare was my response before she replied.

"Honestly?"

I nodded. "Shoot it to me straight."

"With no treatment, you'd be lucky to see another year."

It was early spring in the United States. So, nine months? I'd have just under a year to prepare my husband and children, family and friends, to live without me. Could I? Should I? With treatment I'd gain maybe one more year. But, what would be the quality?

"So with or without treatment, the best I'm looking at is a year and a half?"

She learned forward before replying, "Yes. Best case scenario, with aggressive treatment, a year and a half."

I nodded.

How am I supposed to act when given a death sentence?

James Moushon Hi.

I’d like to introduce myself. Besides being the author of the Jonathon Stones Mystery Series, I am a strong Author's Advocate. I write articles highlighting other authors books. Also, I do author interviews and post them on my blogs. Thanks for friending me. Here’s my latest article.

Authors: The Task of Finding Readers – A Study
Over 30 Outstanding Authors Share Their Experiences.

All authors can learn something from this study.

As they say “This is great stuff. As authors try to gain traction in today’s marketplace. The secret besides writing good books is to find readers and establish relationships.”

You can view the complete study on the blog: HBS Author’s Spotlight
