Ashley Herring Blake

Author Ashley Herring Blake has written poetry (which she wrote during high school and middle school), songs, and books. Poetry helped her get over the death of her father and family, lies and betrayal, and the subject of god. In one month, she was able to write about forty poems in the span of just a month. She also reads books a lot too. Blake has said that if she gets stuck on a character in some way, she will write a poem from their point of view, and it usually helps her get a feel for how to write for them.
