Wren Ashby
Dark stories. Bad decisions. Women with secrets.

Psychological thrillers, twisted relationships, questionable decisions, and the occasional bourbon-fueled thought from a writer who has always wondered what happens when ordinary people make very bad choices.

Then someone subscribed who knew too much.
A weekly psychological thriller about a missing girl, a buried past, and what happens when fiction gets a little too close to the truth.

New chapters every Thursday.

Hello, I’m Wren

I write psychological thrillers about secrets, relationships, bad decisions, and women who probably should’ve trusted their gut about fifty pages ago.
When I’m not ruining fictional people’s lives, you’ll usually find me with a book, a bourbon (or wine), an unnecessarily strong opinion about a thriller ending, or yelling at Alabama football like anyone on the field can hear me.
Welcome to my slightly darker corner of the internet.
Stories I’m Working On

WHAT THE WATER KEPT
Psychological Suspense / Women’s Fiction
A woman returns to Bellweather seeking revenge for the husband she lost, only to uncover old money, buried family secrets, and proof that his death was never what it seemed.

No spam. I have fictional people to torment.
