Ashlyn is a mother to four, and self-proclaimed "critter-master," who spends most of her time taking care of her five snakes, children, puppies and one cat. Usually this takes place while listening to rock and roll. She has authored fantasy and Sci-Fi stories for over a decade, with a special attachment to strong female characters that her daughters can look up to. As a gamer, she doesn't shy away from much of anything, but is especially good at fantasy-style role-playing games, strategy, and her dirty-little-secret is an obsession with the Sims. All of the Sims.
