Ash Parsons

She has attended traditional schools as well as graduated from clown college. Ever since college, Parsons has had involvement when it comes to dealing with child and youth advocacy. She has also taught English to students at the middle school and high school level in the more rural parts of Alabama. Still Waters, the author’s first published novel, was mainly inspired by this experience as she witnessed a few of the students she taught take on problems that seemed nearly impossible to overcome.
