Aussie Readers discussion

Ashlee North

Hi there... My name is Ashlee North and I'm a new Australian Author... I've popped my author bio here for you so you know a bit about me... :)

Ashlee North is in her mid thirties and lives on the beautiful Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia.
She is a lover of words and music, adores writing and finds the most joy in taking readers on a journey with her stories.
Ashlee’s life has been filled with events, both good and bad, which moulded and changed her and eventually have given her wings to fly.
She has learned from her experiences, found victory over difficulties and discovered true and lasting love in the process.
Ashlee’s writing always tries to portray the hope that even in the hardest of circumstances there is hope for the future and that love may very well be right around the corner.
She has a gorgeous daughter and a wonderfully handsome and supportive husband, both who are the loves of her life.
Ashlee has a career as a writer, but also another; helping disabled young people to live better and more enjoyable lives.
Her own personal journey is inspiring and she pours all of these things into her manuscripts, her care for others, and her love for life.
She lives with passion and gives her all to her endeavours, in the hope that her life, her writing, and her work will make even a small difference to the world.
Ashlee has so far written five books; ‘Caitlin and the Café Man’; ‘Because of the Secret’; ‘Wake me up so I can Dream’; ‘Circling Carousels’; and ‘The Storm that Brews Within’.

Here's a sneak taste of "Caitlin and the Café Man"...

Cascading with every possible emotion, Caitlin and the Café Man is the bittersweet love story of one woman's struggle to find joy. It is about life and love, of some things lost, and some found. Caitlin will touch your heart and take you on a roller coaster journey of gains and losses, hope and hopelessness. Each word in the book weaves together a tapestry of what makes Caitlin who she is and who she will eventually become. It tells of her desire for love and meaning, and the ultimate joy. After spending half her life suffering from pain, illness, and sadness, Caitlin finally finds sweet victory. The woven colours of a life lived so long without true love, open up into a rainbow when Caitlin finds her Café Man. The path she has to tread to fulfil her soul, live her life, and feel again, will leave you wishing for more, long after the final page.

and here's a little about "Because of the Secret"...

Brimming with expectation and anticipation, ‘Because of the Secret’ will take you on a journey within the lives of six young people who changed the whole course of their lives in one unexpected night. Without realising the implications an accident will engulf them, plague them and mould them into different people than they ever thought they would be.
You will explore the secret, how it happened, its immediate effect and the ever unfolding results of holding something in which is so life changing. You will be drawn in and become involved and touched by the stories of the characters.
Fear and worry will consume them, death and sadness will destroy them and life and love will envelope them on the path to the final outcome – the playing out of lives derailed ‘because of the secret’.
Seb and Charlotte, Tarni and Kyle, Rebecca and Zoe will let you into their lives and take you through the whole range of possible emotions over the ten years which follow the ‘accident’. You will feel what they feel, find parts of yourself in their personalities, and ultimately travel with them to grieve, to lose almost all, and then feel a somewhat tarnished joy at the end of the journey.
‘Because of the Secret’ is filled with passion. It’s a story which will stay with you long after the final page and a give reason to live to the full every day - for life is short and the path unknown.

Well, I hope you like the sound of them...and I hope you'll enjoy my work... (available on Amazon they are) There's three others coming out soon too... so please let me get to know you, chat with you and enjoy beautiful reading and writing together... :) Ashlee North
