Ashley Sherer grew up in the golden age of sci-fi, cryptids and cartoons(the 1970s) and developed a lifelong love of all three. It didn't matter if it was Steve Austin battling Bigfoot, Leonard Nimoy going 'In Search Of', or the Super Friends saving the world, he was hooked. His first novel, a collection of short stories based on the adventures of spaceship captain Jake Astro, was released in November 2014. Ashley works as a full time software engineer at a life insurance company when he isn't writing.
