Every Sunday, we turn the spotlight on some great creatives. This week, we have Ashlee Harry!
Born and raised in NEPA, Ashlee Harry is a creative writer with 3 self-published books under her belt. Growing up, her love for reading blossomed into an interest in writing. At age 11, she wrote her autobiography in big purple font before it was lost to the world (remember to hit save!), but that wouldn’t be her last time writing her story. In 11th grade, she submitted a writing portfolio about what she wanted to do in life. She wrote that she wanted to be an author and was surprised when her teacher replied, “I could see you doing that.”
Inspiration had struck and Ashlee wanted to see it through. After typing 17 pages worth of content on her iPhone, she transferred it to her computer. A challenge was initiated when her cousin said Ashlee couldn’t write a book. She was determined to prove him wrong. 9 long months of writing lead to her final draft: The Guardians.
The Guardians focuses on Jake and Laura Adams, twins, who suddenly move to Aria, California, as their ordinary lives are left behind. As they start to establish themselves, they discover a family secret. Their strange dreams begin to reveal their true powers, and shortly after, they are sought after by the Guardians and the Filii Tenebrarum. Will their powers be enough to protect them?
Ashlee’s work paid off with the support of her parents as they helped publish her first book in her senior year of high school. However, Jake and Laura’s story wasn’t done, for Ashlee quickly began writing her second book. Near the end of her freshman year of college, Ascension was published in 2016, with the final book, Legacy, being published in 2020.
Creating The Guardians led Ashlee to continue her writing at Wilkes University where she began her Masters in Creative Writing. For her capstone project, she’ll be starting her sequel to The Guardians Trilogy and can’t wait to share the next generation’s story. She’s excited to see what adventure her writing will take her next!
