title: Poison: Heralds of the Crown (Volume 1)
author:  Ashley Hodges Bazer 
description: Ashley Hodges Bazer can often decked out in bellbottoms and grooving out on the lighted dance floor. Okay, not really, but she does have a thing for the BeeGees. She lives in Colorado with her husband and three children. After earning her bachelor's degree in theatrical stage management from Arizona State University, she went on to work for Disneyland in that capacity. A love affair with books led her to work for several different bookstores. Currently a producer for an international daily radio program, she's learning to balance working, writing, and momming duties. Her debut novel, ASYLUM, was traditionally published by WestBow Press in 2012. When she's not writing, she's crocheting or belting out Broadway show tunes. And she's a real duchess!
