Hello there! My name is Ashley Howard, and I appreciate you taking the time to read a little introductory information about me. I am a single mother of two beautiful daughters named Amelia and Stella. I was born and raised in a small suburban town right here in the United States. I graduated high school in 2002 with high marks, but decided not to pursue college at that time. Instead, I gave birth to my first daughter when I was 21 years old.
This might sound odd to some, but I was unaware that I was even pregnant until the day she was born, due to the fact I apparently have a double uterus (which, of course, I didn't discover until that day as well.) She was premature, as was my second daughter, but you wouldn't know it looking at them now. Both pregnancies/births were incredibly difficult for me, but I have no regrets. Although it was a bit challenging at first to raise preemies, I am lucky enough to have two daughters who are now happy, healthy and intelligent. I jumped right into motherhood without ever looking back, giving it my all. And there are definitely no regrets. My daughters are the light and joy of my life, and my truest inspiration. Everything I do, I do for them!
I have always enjoyed writing, and I do feel like I have a natural talent for it, even if I have never been a "professional" writer. I've written a few blog pieces here and there, I have written both fiction and non-fiction. I feel like my own personal experience as a mother would be beneficial.
