Ashman’s passion for history and mythology can be traced to her childhood. A vibrant, young girl of seven, Ashman remembers playing in the ancient Roman ruins at the roadside of a rural area in Turkey, faintly sensing the historical significance of the place, but absolutely oblivious of the important role the ruins would play in her future. Whenever Ashman is not typing away on one of her books, you can find her playing with her son, binging Netflix with her beloved husband, or chasing after her puppy (who should technically be an adult dog by now).
