Ashton Garrett writes enchanting fantasy filled with found family, ancient magic, and stories that open hidden doors. Raised on bedtime tales spun by her father and grandfather, she fell in love with fantasy at a young age — and spent her college years immersed in the magic, working in Fantasyland at Disneyland.

A coastal girl at heart, Ashton finds inspiration sailing, scuba diving, and walking the beach with her dogs. Her debut series, The Luminara Chronicles, is only the beginning.
