INDIE AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT
Ashley N. Pearce
Author of Sci-fi Romantasy and Psychological thrillers. Avid reader and supporter of Indie books.
My name is Ashley N. Pearce. I am happily married to the love of my life. I have 3 wonderful sons. I enjoy my chickens and living in the country. I graduated from Grand Valley State with a bachelors in Criminal Justice. I read quite often and enjoy a good audiobook as well.
When I'm not reading, I'm working on my own books. Reading and writing has always been an escape for me and continues to be an outlet that I use often.
A word from the founder of Indies & Ink
I’m Brittany Hymes, author, creator, and founder of Indies & Ink.
I started writing my first trilogy at seventeen, scribbling scenes in the margins of my notebooks, full of passion and absolutely no idea what I was doing. For years, those stories stayed hidden in drawers, buried under self-doubt and the looming shadow of traditional publishing. I thought I needed permission to be “worthy.” Spoiler: I didn’t.
At twenty-six, with the unwavering support of my biggest cheerleader (my husband), I took the leap into indie publishing. It wasn’t easy. Fear of rejection, imposter syndrome, and the steep learning curve of self-promotion came fast, but I discovered freedom in forging my own path. When I finally published my first book, everything changed. Readers connected. The story mattered. But I still had dreams that felt out of reach. I wanted a place to sell my book that wasn’t just Amazon or Barnes & Noble. I wanted to offer custom merch, connect with readers who loved indie stories, and find a space that truly celebrated self-published voices. That’s when a new dream took shape: building a platform where other indie authors could do the same.
Indies & Ink was born from that vision, a place to share your stories, sell your books, create meaningful merch, and be part of a community that truly gets it.
Whether you're here to write, browse, or build something amazing, welcome.
Your story belongs here.
