About Me

Author bio: Kidnapped by gypsies as an infant, Ashlyn Chase was left on the doorstep of the Massachusetts home in which she was raised—at least that’s what her older siblings told her. It seems that story telling runs in the family.She worked as a psychiatric nurse for several years, holds a degree in behavioral sciences and has been trained as a fine artist, registered nurse, hypnotherapist, and interior designer. Writing is one career in which she wasn’t formally educated, yet by sheer determination she’s become a multi-published, award-winning author.Most writers, whether they’re aware of it or not, have a ‘theme,’ some sort of thread that runs through all of their books, uniting the whole mishmash into an identifiable signature. Ashlyn’s identified theme involves characters who reinvent themselves. It’s no wonder since she has reinvented herself numerous times. Finally content with her life, she lives in beautiful New Hampshire with her true-life hero husband and a spoiled brat cat.

Television:

TV junkie. Desperate Housewives, Battlestar Gallactica, Prison Break, Supernatural, CSI, Dr. Who - very eclectic taste.

Books:

Romance, the hotter the better! I like reading paperbacks in my hot tub. e-books on my laptop or PDA elsewhere.

Heroes:

Mostly fictional. Others would be my wonderful husband, late mom, and late brother.

Feeling weird

Monday I go "under the knife."  As a nurse for 20 years, I've heard all the horror stories and I stay out of the hospital or doctor's office at all costs.  Usually I can handle whatever come...

Next question?

Was there a defining moment that made you realize you wanted to be a writer? No, I was one of those blockheads who didn't see what was right in front of her face.  I loved creative writing in Hig...

Ureka! I’ve got it.
