About Me

I'm Ash Harrier, author of dark academia and mystery novels.

Ever since I was a child, I've been wondering what lies beneath ... behind the veil, beyond the grave and beneath the ordinary. My fascination sometimes tips over into fear, but more than anything, I have a feverish desire to know.

I was also one of those girls who got to the end of high school with some members of my cohort not even knowing my name. I've often felt "quiet" and invisible, which is why I'm slightly obsessed with writing about girls who seem mediocre or even withdrawn - but who have extraordinary secret talents.

I also write general fiction as Sasha Wasley and hold a PhD in feminist literature. My books have been shortlisted for the Readings, WAYBRA and Davitt Awards. I live in Western Australia and I'm the proud fur-parent to a dog, a cat, 3 hens, a frog, a rabbit and a wild quenda.
