Ashton M. Stevenson writes raw, emotionally-charged fiction inspired by the grit of real life. A former wildland firefighter, park ranger, rescue swimmer and more, she's spent years chasing adrenaline across the country-through fire lines, mountain rivers, and rescue missions that shaped her deeply human storytelling.
Today, Ashton lives in Forest, Ohio, where she trains and competes as a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete. She's a PANS gold medalist, a champion of mental health awareness, and a passionate advocate for young adults navigating trauma, faith, and identity. Her novels-including Kindling Love and Love on the Fireline-blend coming-of-age truth with fierce female leads, unfiltered honesty, and moments that make you laugh, cry, and feel seen.
When she's not writing or rolling on the mats, she's probably on the water or at home with her beloved cats, dreaming up the next story only real life could have inspired.
