I'm a Texan, born and raised. I love my God and my family (friends included as family!) My first novel was realeased December 23, 2014 and I've since finished writing my second manuscript and have begun my third. Being a successful writer has been a dream of mine for years, since I was little. I can't wait to see where God takes my first book and my future ones. I pray that it touches many hearts. For those of you who love suspense novels, good vs. evil, you may be interested!

New Book! A Must Read!


I just read one of the best books of my life last night. It's one that I plan to keep forever because it is so informative and loaded with experiences pertaining to bullying.
I relate to the book because I've had my share of it throughout my years of school. Granted, the author, Ashley Nichole Smith, got bullied much worse than I.

This novel is a keepsake because it helped me as a bullied victim, know the tools of how to forgive the people who hurt me. Also, when I have kids, I plan to read it to them because, should bullying occur to one of my children, they will know how to handle the situation. 

I recommend this book to everyone because it has something for everyone. It has a message to parents, bullied victims, and for those who have witnessed bullying but don't know what to do. These answers are backed up with scripture, woven in Ashley's jaw dropping experiences, that ties everything together perfectly. 

The book is intense, and shocking. There is no bad news, so all I can give is the good news!:

It will shock your socks off: The good news about that is, better it be now, reading from someone who went through it to help readers, so you won't have to be appalled should something similar to Ashley's predicaments occur to one of your children.

It will prove you are victorious: Through scripture, it shows how the experiences of Ashley, (and with anyone), was overcome with God.  

It will make you more aware: To parents, it will be an eye-opener, and will make you be more aware of how bullying doesn't just happen kids to kids, but with teachers to kids, college professors with students, etc. It's all around us.

It will show you how to handle bullying: It's more than just telling your child (or yourself if you are the victim), not to listen to bullies because they're wrong. This book delves much deeper. Because, come on, how can someone not listen to a person who degrades them? Ashley shows how to make your children, and yourself, see that they/you are truly treasured.

You will keep turning the pages: Honestly, the situations Ashley has been through is mind blowing. I had to keep reading because it was too intriguing.

It's a jaw dropping, unbelievable journey through the life of a young woman that God brought through the battle.

Bottom line: Buy it, read it, put it on the shelf, pick it up again and read it. It's WORTH IT.
