I'm Ashley Hope Pérez, author of two young adult novels, lover of literature and languages, and unabashed Scrabble addict. The main purpose of this site is to give you a sense of who I am as a writer and reader. You can get the scoop on my two young adult novels and even read an excerpt of each.

The book review section contains book suggestions and will be updated regularly both with reviews of new books and with entries on old favorites. Because I write young adult fiction myself, I'm focusing on YA reviews first.

My blog will serve mostly as a place to share cool links and information on writing, movies, and culture in general. I'm a regular reader of a number of authors, agents, and publishers' blogs, so I'll try to link to the most useful and interesting material I find in my daily reading.

Eventually I plan to add sections on movies, writing advice I've gleaned from various conferences, sentences worthy of emulation, and much more.

I welcome you to contact me regarding any of the site's content. You can also read a bit more about me if you like.

Best wishes,

Ashley Hope Pérez
