March 22,2022 Just a quick (or long) update! =)
Good morning, friends!
Much has been happening in my author world and I'd like to take a few minutes and update everyone on my latest happenings!
First, I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying Spring!
This month I'm working on a book entitled A Valentine's Day Mix-Up to submit to Hallmark. It's the first time I've submitted to a big publishing house and if it's not accepted I'll release it on Amazon.
You could say I'm slightly scared. What if it's not good enough? What if they hate it? Lol! If A Valentine's Day Mix-Up is not accepted by Hallmark, then I'll write another book, and another...but I will never give up! I hope the same determination lights a fire inside of you!
I just want to take a second and encourage you. It's never too late to start over, friends. If you have a dream, nurture it, believe it's possible, and then go after it with all your might! You WILL succeed!
You CAN reach your goals. You CAN succeed at whatever you want to achieve.
NEVER GIVE UP!
Last month, I released Rustic Love which is book #2 in the Bluebell Ranch Romance series. This series has five books total and I'm hoping to be finished by next fall. Book #3, Heartstrings, is up for pre-order now! It's releasing on April 16th.
Here's the blurb:
A cowboy preacher opens his life to a homeless woman and her son, unaware by doing so they reveal God's deepest calling on his heart: love.
A man-of-the-cloth cowboy, Mitch Wray has no room for love in his life. Feeling the call to ministry at a young age, he's centered his sole purpose around serving Christ and pastoring the local church in Blessings.
That is, until a wild-haired beauty, full of fire and freckles, explodes into his life like a shimmering shower of meteorites.
Violet O'Sullivan immigrated from Ireland hoping to start a fresh life for her and her four-year-old son, Carter. Instead, a victim of a devastating scheme, she loses everything and is left with only dashed hopes and dreams. Taking a chance on a town called Blessings, she seeks refuge at the shelter and catches the eye of a dedicated, distant cowboy.
Strong and dependable, Mitch might just be exactly what she and her son need. If only she can overcome her fear of mistrust and learn to love a rugged cowboy with a servant's heart, then Violet may find the peaceful life she left Ireland so desperately seeking to find.
Check out this heartwarming tale of a mother's love and the unshakable power of God's perfect timing today!
Doesn't that sound adorable? I'll include the link here: https://amzn.to/3ipBG9g
Then at the end of May, I'll be releasing my first non-fiction Christian self-help book entitled: Spiritual Warfare and the Gift of Discernment. It's also available for pre-order and here's that blurb:
War is raging all around us, unseen to the naked eye. Are YOU prepared for battle?
Onward Christian soldier, marching as to war... It's a familiar hymn. One sung often in churches across the country, but do we really understand the meaning of this battle cry? Face it, my friends, we are in a war. One where the forces of darkness try every sneaky and underhanded tactic to defeat our chosen purpose.
We are called.
We are anointed,
And the battle is for each and every soul on the planet.
Through the Gift of Discernment bestowed only by the Holy Spirit, walk with me, believer, into the journey uncovering this powerful gift and learn how to use it to claim victory in your life!
You'll discover:
Signs you possess the Gift of Discernment.
Prayers to help guide you in the full power of the Holy Spirit.
Scripture to support the power you have access to in Jesus' name!
Answers to questions about dreams, gut feelings, sensing entities, and visions.
Spiritual Warfare and the Gift of Discernment written by Christian author Ashlea McComas gives scripture-based evidence of living a fulfilling God-centered life with real-life examples of discernment that can empower you today!

October 29, 2020 Bully Bonfire is LIVE!
Happy Thursday, friends!
It's been an eventful past couple of weeks! I appreciate everyone hanging in there with me while I got everything sorted out with Bully Bonfire. Hopefully, Bully Shadows will go off without a hitch!
Fingers crossed, lol!
Here is the link to Bully Bonfire on Amazon:

My MOST exciting news is that tomorrow I'm having a baby! Please keep us in your prayers.
I'm so very thankful to be adding another sweet child to our growing family. I could not be happier!
Even though I'd had to take three, YES THREE, Covid tests in the past week! I am overjoyed to bring our little one home.
I hope you enjoy Bully Bonfire as things heat up for Gemma in ways she's never expected! I think college life for her is nothing like what she pictured, but isn't that the truth with life in general? Lol!
Let me know what you think of Rath in the comments! He's such a complex and twisted character. I have plans to write a trilogy just about him!
Hope everyone has a fun & safe Halloween!
Talk to you soon,

October 2, 2020 The Wolf Pack!
Hello friends!
Happy Friday all! I'm so very excited that Bully Kickoff releases on October 6th. I'm a little behind schedule, but being 35 weeks pregnant and keeping four kids on track with virtual schooling will do that to you! Lol!
I've decided to run a promotional for Wicked and Bully Bait during this week.
Bully Bait will be free to download between October 3rd through October 5th. Please get your copy if you haven't already!
Wicked will be marked down to 99 cents from October 4th through the 11th. Please pick up a copy and enjoy, friends!
I'm doing this as a thank you to my readers who have hung in there with me for the long haul!
I have so many wonderful books and series planned I cannot wait to share with you. The Wolf Pack series itself is made up of twenty books! Yes, you read that right.
Twenty!
I appreciate each and every one of you and am thankful for this amazing journey of writing!
Talk to you very soon,
Ashlea
September 6, 2020 Make You Ignite Make You Ignite
Happy Sunday, friends!
Releasing on Tuesday the 8th is the third and final book of the Auster Preparatory Academy series, Make You Ignite!
It draws to an end with the consequences of Leif and Vanessa's choices. Oh my!
Leif is not my typical male main character. I really enjoyed writing him because of how dark he becomes. I like to think all of my main guys have SOMETHING redeeming about them, and maybe you just have to search harder to find that in Leif! Lol!
Next, we are onto the journey of The Wolf Pack as they head to the University of Michigan in Bully Kickoff! Like I've said previously, this expansive series has 20+ books planned that will take us from the fall into 2021.
I love the characters from Centennial High and really want to expand on their stories. Who knows? There may even be more to come with them after the Wolf Pack series is completed! =)
I hope you all are having a wonderful 3-day weekend! Enjoy some quality time with your families, as that's my plan too. Happy Labor Day to everyone!

September 5, 2020 Pricing Guide =)
Hello friends!
I wanted to make a short post about the pricing on Amazon for my books to clear a few things up!
Going forward, my series will mostly be 1 Hour Reads to 45 Minutes per book.
The Everest High series is the only one available in which all three books are full-length.
I'm really enjoying writing weekly installments that take forty-five minutes or less to read. So more than likely, all of my future series will be this way.
PRICING GUIDE
1 Hour Reads & shorter - 99cents
90 Minute Reads- $1.69
Regular novels- $2.99 & up
I really wanted to clarify my prices and what you can expect as readers! I do not plan to deviate from this guide, and if I do then I'll create another blog post to inform you in the future. However, I like for you to know what you're getting as I never want to disappoint my readers!
Thank you for your loyalty and I hope you enjoy the new series coming out!
Ashlea
