State: Washington

Ashley Vargas is a romance author known for her "closed-door small-town" and music-driven love stories.

A descendant of poetic writing since childhood, she balances writer life in the Pacific Northwest with family as a mother of two girls, often running on decaf coffee and creative energy. Ashley has built a loyal audience by sharing snippets, personal touches, and music-infused plotlines that resonate with fans of emotional, heartfelt romance.
