When not writing, she can be found hoarding candles and reading/editing for That Pretentious Book Club, a comedy podcast she co-hosts about books and nonsense, and The Scripturient Society, a podcast for writers.

Ash’s Quotes

“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.”
― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick
