THE LATEST NEWS

I received the cover copy for my September book, BEAUTY'S BEAST. I hope it piques your interest ~
Beauty ~ Fair of face and figure, Kristine is young, innocent, pure. Yet she has been condemned to the gallows for killing a man. The only one who can save her is a lord so infamous that some say he is the son of the Devil himself…

And the Beast ~ Erik Trevayne is called the Demon Lord of Hawksbridge Castle, but few know of the curse he lives under. Or the terrifying changes slowly gnawing away at his humanity. When he weds her, all he wants of Kristine is a son. But when he beds her, a wild hope is born—that love that can tame even the most monstrous of beasts...

I finished the first draft of my sequel to NIGHT'S PROMISE and I'm really happy with it. I had a good time, as always, with Edna and Pearl. I think you'll get a kick out of what they do. My hero causes some jealousy between Mara and Logan. It was unexpected (sometimes characters just go their own way) but I think it made for some nice tension in the story.

I'm eagerly looking forward to February when NIGHT'S PROMISE will be in stores. I'm anxious to see if my readers love this book as much as I do. The back cover copy says ~ For beautiful heiress Sheree West, vampires are more than a fantasy. They are an obsession. Night after night, she dresses in black and immerses herself in L.A.’s goth club scene. Searching for a lover who is more than a man. A creature of the dark who lusts for her blood. A legend who lives in the shadows and not just her dreams. Then, one fateful night, she meets him…

Derek Blackwood is no ordinary vampire. Descended from a bloodline as old as Cleopatra, and blessed with unearthly powers of seduction, he is everything Sheree wished for—and more. When he takes her in his arms, she is powerless. When he kisses her neck, she is his. But when the full moon rises—and passions flare— something is unleashed in Derek he’s never felt before. Something wild. Something dangerous. Something he cannot control or stop…unless she can save him.

Some happy news. NIGHT'S MISTRESS placed first in the Fiction: Romance category of The 2013 USA Best Book Awards, sponsored by USA Book News. How awesome is that?

Also, I have pub dates for some of my backlist books that will be publlished by EC Blush. The dates are below. The titles are UNDER A PRAIRIE MOON, A FEATHER IN THE WIND, CHASE THE LIGHTNING, SPIRIT'S SONG, and one of my all-time favorites, THE ANGEL AND THE OUTLAW. They're also publishing SUNLIGHT MOONLIGHT, which was originally 2 short stories in one book, but which they're publishing separately. As with all my Blush books, they'll be available first as eBooks and then in print.

Regarding MIDNIGHT AND MOONLIGHT, a reader said, "A fairy and a vampire . . . this is where fantasy meets the paranormal. Disney meets Dracula. I thought the plot was creative and unique! Ms. Ashley created other worlds all connected to our world through portals, and described them in vivid detail. This book will stand apart from the author's other books in my mind because it took a step away from her typical novel. If you've enjoyed any of her other novels, I recommend this one. " Veronica Winters

I want to thank all of you who wrote to tell me how much you enjoyed NIGHT'S MISTRESS. As you may know, I was worried about this one - afraid I would disappoint readers who waited YEARS for Mara's story. So far, the response has all been positive, putting my fears to rest

"Annetta Sweetko at Fresh Fiction said: "NIGHT'S MISTRESS grabs you from the very first word and leads you on a masterfully written thrill ride. Mara is a multifaceted very intriguing character, Logan is one sexy determined vampire and Kyle seemed to be more or less a handsome, sensitive interloper. I was intrigued by the many layers to Mara's world ...I totally enjoyed this book and have happily placed it in my re- read pile."

Terri Dukes at RT said: "Ashley is a go-to-author for a classic vampire love story that’s never predictable. Night’s Mistress is the 5th in the series, but it can easily be read as a stand-alone. Fans have been waiting for Mara’s story and the wait was well worth it. She is the oldest vampire in this entertaining world and has a lot of story to tell. This is a true page-turner with the perfect combination of engaging characters, first-class world building, a dash of mystery, and a passionate romance. "

PW said: “A delightful romantic vampire romp, eschews graphic violence in favor of exploring deep emotions and difficult decisions… Plot twists move the story along nicely, and flashbacks seamlessly provide background information, familiar faces, and hidden agendas for this surprisingly touching novel.” –
