Ashlyn Kane is a world-traveling homebody who defines herself by her contradictions: she loves chaos but craves order, and writes the most when she has the least free time to do it. Her house is as full of half-finished projects as her writing folder. With the help of her ADHD meds, she gets by.

An early reader and talker, Ashlyn has always had a flair for language and storytelling. She attended her first writers' workshop as an eight-year-old, won an amateur poetry competition as a teenager, and--the crowning achievement of her adulthood--received a starred review in Publishers Weekly for her novel Fake Dating the Prince.

Her hobbies include DIY home decor, container gardening (no pulling weeds), music, and spending time with her enormous chocolate lapdog. She is the fortunate wife of a wonderful man, the daughter of two sets of great parents, and the proud older sister/sister-in-law of the world's biggest nerds.
