We gave our favorite authors a questionnaire with 10 questions we really wanted to know… And they spilled everything! (Sort of ๐Ÿ˜‚)
Give it up to – Ashley Jade! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ‘

Ashley Jade is a top 25 bestselling Amazon author who craves tackling different genres and tropes within romance. Her first loves are New Adult Romance and Romantic Suspense, but she also writes everything in between including: contemporary romance, erotica, and dark romance.
Her characters are flawed and complex, and chances are you will hate them before you fall head over heels in love with them.
She's a die-hard lover of oxford commas, em-dashes, music, coffee, and anything thought-provoking…except for math.
Books make her heart beat faster and writing makes her soul come alive.
If she's not paying off student loan debt, working, or writing a novelโ€”you can usually find her listening to music, hanging out with her readers online, and pondering the meaning of life.

Hi Ashley,
We are so excited to have you in our 'Ask our favorite author' questionnaire!

1. Could you start off by telling us a little bit about your up-coming release, "Wicked Princess"?
I could, but I've kept Wicked Princess a secret because I really want readers to experience it for themselves. However, I will tell you it's a very wild ride. 

2. Share something your readers wouldnโ€™t know about you.
I'm actually super introverted and struggle with anxiety. Usually, I'm bubbly and outgoing online, but in real life, being around a lot of people makes me super anxious. 

3. If you didnโ€™t write, what would you do for a living?
I'm actually a nurse and for a time I did both. I'd work a 12-hour shift and then come home and write. Needless to say, it was very exhausting and I'm fortunate that for now, I'm able to solely focus on writing full-time. 

4. What's the best book you've read recently?
I'm actually a big fan of Elle Kennedy and lately I've been loving her Briar U series. 

5. Who are your go-to authors?
Elle Kennedy, Lexi Ryan, and Ella James. I love the way they write and the way their stories come to life. 

6. If one of your books could become a movie – which one would you choose?
I'd think my Royal Hearts Academy series would make a great mini-series and I know a lot of my readers would love that. 
However, I also think my Blame It on the Shame series would be an awesome suspense-filled movie. 

7. Do you hide any secrets in your books that only a few people will find?
I always give my heroines at least one quality I have (sometimes more) or something I've personally struggled with in my own life so I can personally identify with them and it makes it easier for me to be inside their heads.  

8. Do you read your book reviews? How do you deal with bad or good ones?
I used to read my reviews a lot and sometimes it would send me into a bad depression and it would be really hard to gather the courage to write again. However, that all changed when I wrote Ruthless Knight and I made a pact with myself to not read a single review (and I still haven't) because the story was so extremely personal to me there would be no way I couldn't take the negative reviews to heart. 
In doing that, I actually discovered how liberating it is to not read any reviews so I think that's something I'm going to continue doing for my mental health. 

9. The last book translated into Hebrew was "Blame It on the Pain". If you need to choose, which one should be the next to be translated?
I'm gonna say The Devil and The Devil's Advocate because it was picked up recently and should be translated soon. ๐Ÿ™‚ 

10. Finally, Tell us about your future projects – What can you share about them?
Oh, man. I'm so excited for my readers to see what I have planned.
I don't want to give anything away, so all I'll say is…expect the unexpected and prepare yourself for some angsty, steamy goodness with all the feels.  

Thank you so, so, so much for this. You're amazing.ย 

Thank you for answering our questionnaire, we can't wait to find out what you have in store for us next! XOXO from Israel ๐Ÿ’™
