Hello! My name is Ashley and I am an aspiring YA author from Forest Lake, Minnesota. I'm currently working on my first novel and have set a goal to finish the manuscript by July of 2021. I live with my husband, two boys and two dogs. My husband is a financial advisor; helping small businesses with their bookkeeping, payroll, employee management, etc. Together, we own a little bakery/coffee shop. I manage the daily operations and keep our customers coming back. I'm getting out of my comfort zone posting some of my writing to be critiqued, but I'm also really excited to get feedback from all of you, which will help me finish the manuscript :)
