THE ASHEN SOUL
ABOUT ME
I have been writing since I was sixteen but did not try and do anything with it until much more recently.. I live in Chippewa Falls, WI with my family of six. I have been an avid reader since I was a child and many of those works have influenced my own writing. While some of the content is based on myths there is also much that is either my own take on the myths or original.
I have several journals that I use to write my ideas down, but the vast majority of the story of the Ashen Soul is in my head. I use several methods to flesh out the story and characters, including making them playable characters for table top RPGS.
Another part of my process involves dreams. As strange as that may sound there are many concepts and in some cases whole chapters that are nearly verbatim from a dream. Some of these dreams are years or even decades old, yet they are as clear in my memory as the moment I had them.

Covers
All the covers of my books are made using acrylic pouring and are then cleaned up and enhanced.
Ember
The journey from the first "copy" (left) to the test copies(center) to the published result (right) was long.
Original release
If you own one of the original copies of Ember let me both apologize to you and thank you. Those original copies that were printed were from a very dark time in my life. It was not the lowest I have ever been but it was close. The original was littered with typos. I am sure that I still missed some for the revised version but I know that it is much better. The original version was uploaded when I desperately needed a win in my life. Thank you for buying those copies and I apologize for the typos. One easy way to identify them is the lack of a content warning page. If you wish to exchange them for an updated copy feel free to contact me.
