Ashley Barela has always believed in the magic of a good story. A stay-at-home mom and devoted wife, she spends her days raising two incredible daughters and her nights chasing fictional daydreams across the page.
Paper Flowers is her debut novel and the first step in a journey she never quite expected but always hoped for.
Tucked away in sunny California, Ashley lives for fast-paced mornings, and heartfelt words. She’s happiest with a book in one hand and a cold Dr. Pepper in the other, savoring the little things that make life feel like a story worth telling.
