About Me

Hello everyone, and welcome to my page! 

My name is Ashley Leabu. I’m a pediatric nurse, wife, and mother of two with a deep love for stories that bleed, break, and heal. Writing is both my refuge and my fire, a way to explore trauma, love, survival, and sacrifice. I’ve completed multiple manuscripts featuring complex characters, twisty tropes, and emotionally charged narratives grounded in real-life struggles. I gravitate toward strong heroines, morally gray heroes, and villains you can’t help but root for. I'm deeply passionate about this journey and bring a strong work ethic to everything I do. I'm currently seeking a long-term partnership with an agent who shares my vision. 

A HUGE THANK YOU to my family, friends, editor, cartographer, web designer, beta readers, and followers. None of this would be possible without your unwavering support.
