Featured Interview With Ashlynn Pearce
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Were it not for Hope, the Heart would Break…
Once upon a time…You ain’t gonna believe this sh**!
(I always wanted to start a bio like that!) But seriously—scrap that, I’m not serious, but I do love to write. Create characters. Give them hope that there is something better around the corner. It’s my passion. I live and breathe stories. When I’m not arguing with the characters in my head (yes, I do that, you can ask my hubby who thinks I’m nuts btw), I’m taking care of said hubby, my two kids and a melee of furbabies. I’m Okie born and bred and, yes, we get a lot of twisters and, no, there aren’t any teepees around that I’ve seen.
Follow me around to see what other mischief I’m up to!
One thing’s for sure, it’s never boring! 😉
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
As soon as I could read. I devoured books and loved escaping into another world. The first book I can remember reading all the time was Black Beauty. When I was 13, I was given my first romance…and I’ve been reading them ever since. I’ve read thousands-literally. I lived at the used book store where I could exchange books and there came a point where I couldn’t find any that I hadn’t read. (It helps I’m a very fast reader)
About 10 years ago, I had a dream…with characters and a story, and it hit me–I could write this! So I did. I got serious, joined a writers group, absorbed information like a sponge and wrote one worth publishing.
The day it released, I had a stroke.
That was 5 years ago. I still have a host of health issues I deal with every day but writing and creating stories is my passion. I’d be lost without it.
I’m back.
I did it.
My motto says it all….Were it not for Hope, the Heart would Break…
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
Romance. Anything romance. New Adult, Contemporary, paranormal, suspense, erotic…it doesn’t matter what genre as long as its romance. My favorite authors are Sherrilyn Kenyon, Jennifer Lyon, Karen Marie Moning, Jay Crownover, Kylie Scott–these are automatic one-clicks for me.
The biggest inspiration to my writing is my best friend, my Hubby. There’s a little bit of him in every hero I write.

‘DirtSlap Series’
“Is there any line she won’t cross?”
Cassie Dalton escapes her narrow-minded hometown and will do whatever it takes to make a life for herself—on her own terms. Getting stranded in Nashville on her twenty-first birthday is fine…running into the one man she never thought she’d see again is mind-blowing. She doesn’t want, or need, a hero, but he opens her heart to feelings she’d stopped believing in. She’s always loved him, but is he worth risking her heart?
Thrand Medlam is content with his life as a studio drummer, until Cassie slams into his world at full throttle. Grown up and running wide ass open, she sparks the fire he never knew he’d lost. The girl from his past digs up all the regret and remorse he’d buried when he left. Torn between the guilt of long ago and the vibrant girl in front of him, he must make a choice. Honor a promise he made to his best friend, Cassie’s dead brother, or love her.
In the midst of their chaos, a band, with a little bit of country, a dash of metal and a whole lot of dirt, is born…DirtSlap
