What's new with Ashleigh?
I don't know about you, but for those of us in New England, Memorial Day marks the unofficial start to summer. Many of our state campgrounds open this weekend. Since purchasing our first camper in 2017, Memorial Day has been one of our favorite camping weekends.
Until last year. Last year, in addition to being very hot, our family split up to march in two separate parades in two different counties. By the time we returned the to campground, it took an hour to travel one mile from the exit ramp the entrance of the state park. Which was closed due to capacity. Ultimately, not a fun experience.
So this year, I made the executive decision that we will not be traveling this weekend. This will allow us to participate in some good old-fashion Memorial Day staycation fun.
Thanks to some unseasonably warm weather, we put up our swimming pool a couple of weeks ago. I'm sure it will get a lot of use this weekend, although we still have a lot going on. In addition to the two parades, we are also participating in a memorial service and assisting a service project for a nonagenarian. It's sure to be a fantastic weekend.
How about you? How are you celebrating Memorial Day?
(Or, if your Memorial Day has already passed, what were some of the highlights?)

I was so pleased with everyone's feedback regarding my Choose Your Own Path Stories. I am happy to announce that they will resume in the fall. Unfortunately, I will be unable to work on them over the summer because of a new project.
After much deliberation, I decided to particpate in the 2023 Inkfort Publishing Derby.
What's that, you ask? In 2020, I participated in my first Derby. I was given the cover and penname for One Night In Sedona. I will admit, that cover was not my first choice (though I no longer remember what was), but by the time the derby started, that cover spoke to me.
I and 49 other participants had two months to write and edit a novella. After another month of betas and ARCs, we published the books anonymously. Exactly one month later, we compared our sales information to see who had "won". (Although I didn't win, One Night In Sedona remains one of my most popular books.)
This year's derby has begun. I have ranked my favorite covers and am brainstorming ideas of stories to accompany them. Although I won't be able to tell you which book is mine until November, I look forward to sharing my progress with you over the next few months.
On a completely unrelated note, I enjoyed my last in-person author event so much, I have vowed to attend more. Keep checking my Upcoming Events section or the Live Event Preorder tab on my website to learn when I'm going to be and where.
