In today’s episode, Stephen and Dixie Lee get to know Ashley Martin! Ashley grew up homeschooled as an only child and fell in love with books at an early age. Graduating high school at 15 and married at 18, she has since poured her love for literature into writing her own children's books! We get to talk all about Ashley's writing process, what it's like to work with an agent, and the complicated process that brings a book from an author's mind to a reader's heart. We hope you enjoy getting to know Ashley as much as we did!
