I’m Ashlynn Crow. I used to be a stuntwoman in Hollywood. Then the writers’ strike hit, production stopped, and I thought, "Why not try this writing thing myself?" One web series, a few awards, and countless late nights later, I was hooked.

Now, I’m on a full-time mission to write stories with love, angst, and just the right amount of trouble. I write YA and NA romance, fantasy (romantasy, if you’re fancy), and paranormal fiction.

I like to think my work explores all the essential things: love—the soft kind, the gritty kind, the kind that leaves scars. Family, too. The complicated, beautiful people who shape us, whether we like it or not. And the wild journey of building a life, one poorly planned adventure at a time.

I'm heavily influenced by 80s dark fantasy films —think enchanted forests, looming shadows, and dangerous magic that promises adventure but comes with a price. It’s a vibe that’s equal parts eerie and whimsical, where even the heroes are a little rough around the edges and the stakes always feel high.

When I’m not writing, I’m traveling and facing random fears (like hiking up active volcanoes and getting tattoos). I cackle like a witch when I laugh, and if you ever find me with my family, we sound like we’re casting spells over a cauldron.
