Ashleigh Renée resides in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains with her beloved wife. As a lifelong storyteller and proud septuagenarian, she began writing romance later in life, infusing her stories with heartfelt emotion and the wisdom of experience. Her tales celebrate love in all its forms—tender, funny, unexpected, and true. When she's not writing, Ashleigh enjoys quiet evenings with a good book and a cup of tea. She also loves listening to music from any era and playing tabletop RPGs, where she often portrays quirky characters like a Satyr raised by Orcs—who naturally believes she's an Orc!  Then again, there are the Drow twins, separated by family tragedy at age 10, both believing they are the sole survivor. One, Kiya, raised in the deep Underdark of Wildemount by Deep Gnomes, becoming an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, shaped by denamantic forces, the other, Ka'ess, carried away tothe Feywild of Senaliesse where she was adopted by Titania and later ecame her sworn Warlock of the Pact of the Chain.
