My Little Ashley (Rogers)

A writer! That's like an actor who's too lazy to work in a restaurant!

About Me


When I play bar chords, my middle finger bounces up and down.

I intend to go back to school for a communications major, but I seem to have made a job out of hanging with musicians. and that's why I'd want to be on the radio, anyhow. well...that and also so's I could press a bunch of nifty buttons.

In all seriousness...I've produced two films and written a children's story I'm pursuing the illustration of.
Currently am writing: two screenplays, two plays, three short stories, and a compilation of people's personal stories of their bouts of illness for non-profit publication; managing a band, developing a website for a musician friend of mine, and working on my own music for the hell of it.
So...I'll see the daylight in approximately three years.

Check out Bastards of Twang - you won't regret it.

My Interests



I'd like to meet:


I'm currently under the impression that there's barely anything sexier than a healthy combo of intelligence, sly witticisms, and a sort of drunken "anything goes" attitude in a man; as exemplified here by one Mr. Norm MacDonald.
