Living with a Ghost | Alison Ashley
https://alisonashley.wordpress.com/2012/03/25/living-with-a-ghost
The Truth has set me Free →. Living with a Ghost. March 25, 2012. A few weeks ago I went to view a rental property but although the key fitted the lock, it would not open. I and the other hopeful tenant could not look around. Two days later that same key worked but the other person could not make the viewing. I entered the premises and instantly felt an icy presence. Could I live with this entity? With no other rentals available, did I really have an option? Soon afterwards, some friends arrived with smu...

Competition Reminder →. Now for something completely different…. October 7, 2011. It’s great when the writing just flows, as if from nowhere, but even better is when it flows from the heart. There’s the old adage, ‘write about what you know’ but equally true is write about what you feel. Apart from books, some of the most moving songs have also been written from the writer’s emotional experiences. This entry was posted in Imagination. Competition Reminder →.

Picture Gillian Gorrie 2010. My book is unique in its content so I wanted something custom designed for the cover. An artist friend of mine, Gillian Gorrie, took the manuscript and came up with a fantastic cover design. Let me know what you think! Between editing sessions, we’ve been tossing around some ideas for the cover. Here’s the latest! 2 responses to “ Behind the Scenes. February 2, 2011 at 10:22 am.

Reviews for Phoenix | Alison Ashley
https://alisonashley.wordpress.com/reviews-for-phoenix
YA Book Review: Phoenix, by Alison Ashley. Reviewed by Sally Murphy, Aussie reviews. First in a wonderful new series. I tried to respond but my mouth wouldn’t form words and the letter said it all anyway. I felt like meringue floating in an ocean, like I was dissolving, hot like molten sugar, cold like the sea. Fighting the inevitable was futile. I tried to extract the note from my pocket but my strength had gone. I closed my eyes and let my body drift on the bobbing tide. The way you described the chara...

CYA Conference 10th Sept 2011. Now for something completely different… →. October 4, 2011. I’ve been procrastinating over my final study assignment for a couple of months, it being the examination one and all, but I finally realised that until I actually sat down and finished it, I won’t be able to get on with achieving my goals. Procrastination tossed into the rubbish bin, I dug out my assignment and focused. Three hours later, the job was done and to my absolute amazement, I actually enjoyed it. Addres...

Spooky but True Competition. CYA Conference 10th Sept 2011 →. September 5, 2011. Have just returned from a fantastic weekend at the Ballarat Writers Festival. It’s so good to be around other people with the same passion for books and writing. The festival was kicked off on Friday evening with a sumptuous three-course meal, meeting new people and sharing our dreams. The whole event passed so quickly and was filled with wonderful opportunity to learn, network and eat! The feedback from the panel was so use...

Phoenix Launch Speech | Alison Ashley
https://alisonashley.wordpress.com/phoenix-launch-speech
In the lead up to my book launch, I searched deep within myself for the perfect speech. What would the audience want to hear? Drawing a blank, I then trawled through the many found during an internet search. They were too long. Too boring. Not relevant at all to my Young Adult Paranormal novel or my journey to this point. I tried recalling what other authors had said during the several launches I’d attended – again, nothing gelled with me, or I couldn’t remember. Job finally done, I allowed myself the lu...

All Roads lead to Rome … | Alison Ashley
https://alisonashley.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/all-roads-lead-to-rome
Competition Results →. All Roads lead to Rome …. November 22, 2011. Sometimes on our quest to be published we repeatedly follow the same path, subbing, waiting, hoping then having our hopes dashed. Of course, acceptances do happen and they are absolutely brilliant when they do, but as writers putting our hearts and souls into what we create, that power the publishers seem to have over us, can be torture.
