Murder can take a long time if you're writing about it.

My name is Ashleigh and I'm a recovering next-timer...we'll get together next time, I'll call you next time, I'll write about it next time, I'll tell you I love you next time. Then reality hit (finally) that there may not be a next time and I was stunned. What?! We only get one shot at life? Really?! I'm also a recovering slow-learner.

So in light of that realization that was over 40 years in the making, I'm writing my first novel- murder, love, redemption. I'm not sure what direction it will take but am enjoying the process and isn't that what life's all about anyway?

More importantly, I'm living with gratitude for my family; God opened my eyes to the blessings of family and I'm thankful to Him and them for hanging in there with me for all these years. (Did I mention I'm a slow-learner?)

I'm a mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a nurse, and a writer who LOVES to sing. Loudly. Badly. When no one else is around to hear it. Except the cat. Poor cat.
