About Ashley Henry
I am an author new to the rest of the world but not to my family and friends. I have been writing young adult urban literature for a decade, writing my very first short story, ‘Suffering in Silence’ at the age of fourteen.
Born, raised and currently residing in the Capitol Heights, MD area I love to read, write (novels, short stories & poetry), and spend time with family and friends.
I write what I see everyday people go through. When I write I want people to feel like they are the character. In my stories you WILL find characters much like you or someone you know.
Writing is my biggest passion, along with mentoring. Hoping that I can change someone child, teen, or adult with the messages that I am writing about.
Q& A with Ashley Henry
A&RBC: How did you become a writer?
Ashley: I started writing when I was in my 7th grade class and we had to do one of those benchmark test. It required us to write a short story and from there I fell in love with literature world. I started writing little plays and short stories using my classmates as the characters. They loved it.

Ashley: Real life experiences from me and other people.
A&RBC: What are you hoping readers take from your book?
