My name is Ashley, I am 19 years old. I was first attracted to reading and writing when I was eleven years old. That was when the Harry Potter books were introduced to me, and I fell in love. I read on for years after that but never gave a career in writing a thought until my Senior year in high school. Mr. Sample, my Brit Lit teacher, so sarcastic and oh so smart. He showed me how enjoyable writing can truly be and for that, I thank him.
