edit data

Born Maureen Dangarembizi in Zimbabwe, Author Grace Ashley has lived a storied life. From her earliest days in school, she knew she wanted to someday write for a living, but that dream didn’t come to fruition until recently. After penning many columns for skynewszimbabwe.com, she earned her first accolades as a professional writer. Nominated in 2015 for a Zim Achievers Award, Grace went on to publish two full-length novels, a novella, a children’s book, and to pursue her interest in screenwriting and film making.

When not writing, she enjoys spending time with her daughters, dreaming up new stories to share with the world, or can be found deeply engrossed in one of the many books in her to-be-read pile.
