ASH was nominated for a Locus Award, a Mythopoeic Fantasy Award, and a William C. Morris Award in 2010.

"In the wake of her father's death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, rereading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do. When she meets the dark and dangerous fairy Sidhean, she believes that her wish may be granted.

The day that Ash meets Kaisa, the King's Huntress, her heart begins to change. Instead of chasing fairies, Ash learns to hunt with Kaisa. Though their friendship is as delicate as a new bloom, it reawakens Ash's capacity for love-and her desire to live. But Sidhean has already claimed Ash for his own, and she must make a choice between fairy tale dreams and true love.

Entrancing, empowering, and romantic, Ash is about the connection between life and love, and solitude and death, where transformation can come from even the deepest grief."

ASH is available for purchase through WritersBlockBookstore.com (USPS ship-to-home, in-store pickup, or ebook download through My Must Reads). You can also borrow it from the Orange County Public Library System as a physical book via grab-and-go or home delivery, or as an ebook download through the Overdrive and Libby apps. If you have any questions about how to obtain the book through these means, please comment on the event or DM host Shelby Bouck.

*Feel free to suggest a book from any genre for October! It should be published for an adult or young adult audience and be one continuous work, i.e. not a collection of short stories, essays, or poems.
