About Me:
I am a U.S. Army war veteran who fell in love with a fellow soldier after returning from a one year tour in Afghanistan. Shortly after we met, I completed my commitment to the military as a soldier and took on a new task as a proud Army wife. Accompanying my new commitment to the military was my desire to pursue my dreams more diligently. Writing for me has progressed from a sporadic endeavor into my focus for a future career. Until that dream becomes a reality I work for the military in one aspect or another to help pay the bills. If I'm not writing I'm watching a movie, sitting at my computer, or loving on my cats--and sometimes my husband.
What I Write:
I write poetry as a form of emotional release and prose as a way to share my view of the world--and imagination--with others. I'm currently in pursuit of publication for my first expected trilogy which centers around a clan of half-human vampires on an uncharted man-made island packed with action, adventure, and a little unconventional romance.

This month I'm participating in three writing projects. I'm fairly excited about doing this. If you're participating in any of them as well let me know and I'll feature you along side my works to give you a little more exposure. Best of luck if you are joining in on the chaos! Contact me via Email (Salley@salleyashley.com) or send me a message through WM. -Salley Tags:

I'm slowly getting the hang of this communities set up. I only hope that it stays geared toward writers. It's a sad day when beneficial communities get transformed into MySpace/Facebook and lose sight of their initial purpose. Personally, I'd prefer a community with 10 serious writers than one with 100 random people trying to find a girl/boyfriend online. Tags:

Thank you for the compliment re: the picture of my grandkids. I must confess that I didn't take it and am not quite sure who did. My daughter-in-law sent it to me. She has a friend, ... Carol |

Dear Salley,
wordmolderI just joined the peer review group and saw the photographs from your tour of duty in Afghanistan and had to take a moment to say thank you to you and your husband for your service to the country. My oldest son is currently deployed in J-bad and works on the helicopters. He's with the 101st Airborne out of Ft Campbell.
I wish you success with your writing and best wishes.
