About Me

Sometimes two people meet, become good friends, and share a lot in common. When you're really lucky, you meet someone who understands you, who thinks like you, can finish your sentences and together, the both of you can create whole new worlds.
Ashleigh Raine is a multi-published, award-winning writing team made up of lifelong friends, Jennifer and Lisa. Living in the Los Angeles area, they have both worked various jobs in the Entertainment industry including stagehand, script reader, feature film production assistant, precision driver, theatrical lighting designer, seat filler, stunt driving school student and background actor. These experiences are a wealth of inspiration for their Hollywood Heat series. They are members of RWA and attend conventions regularly. Their first novel, Loverâ€™s Talisman, won second place honors in the Reviewers International Organization (RIO) Award of Excellence for Best Debut Book 2003. Their second novel, Forsaken Talisman, was a RIO Recommended Read for August 2004.
