Texting with another YA author friend this morning about the rough state of the market, and our consensus was, publishing keeps looking for the next Hunger Games, but they wouldn’t acquire the original if it were in their inboxes today

Ash 🐉 CHILD OF THE DRAGON @ashintheashes.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

I've been dreaming about the day I'd see my own name on a book cover. A massive thanks to JV Artists for making the cover of my dreams! Child of the Dragon is releasing March 10, 2026 from @inkedingraypress.bsky.social and preorders are available now on their website!

A purple background with the cover for Child of the Dragon (A cover with fire on the left edges and ice on the right edges centering around a girl in shorts and a tank top, raising a sword high and summoning lightning in front of a massive purple-y european dragon inside some sort of arena. The title: Child of the Dragon is written across the center in a curly, silver font, and the author name is in a smaller version of the same and says Ashley N.Y. Sheesley). Fire and ice surround the cover in a way that gives it a somewhat 3D effect. The text reads Cover Reveal at the top and across the bottom it says Coming March 10, 2026

Reminder that before I started writing novels I didn't study writing at university, attended no workshops/conferences, knew absolutely no one in science fiction publishing circles, and didn't start going to conventions until after I got a contract for my novel. What I *did* do: Write. A lot.

Deadstream is out now! I had tons of fun and fears with Deadstream by Mar Romasco-Moore! This quick read follows Teresa who's trying to uncover why this big-time streamer is suddenly acting incredibly weird. Odd things are happening and she's sure she's seeing things. 💙📚 #bookreviews

2. Black/grey background. At the top Is set of numbers. 01-06. 02 is encircled in dark blue. At the bottom is my handle and an arrow on the right.

This page is a synopsis of the book. Behind the synopsis are two blobs. One grey, one dark blue.
Synopsis:Rear Window meets The Ring in this sinister YA thriller, in which a teen girl witnesses the livestreamed murder of a popular online streamer by a paranormal entity . . . and could be its next victim.

After surviving a car accident that claimed the life of her best friend, Teresa is now terrified to leave the safety of her bedroom. Since then, her only solace and window to the outside world has been the online community she found through streaming.

But one night, the safe world Teresa created starts to break down. A shadowy figure appears in the background of her favorite's streamer's video, and his behavior mysteriously changes over the next few days before he dies in front of thousands of viewers. Teresa finds herself at the center of a life-and-death investigation as the world tries to figure out what or who this figure could be . . . especially as it begins appearing in the other people's streams, compelling them to "open the door" and let it in—including Teresa’s own. In order to save herself and the rest of the internet from this relentless entity, Teresa must venture outside of the mental and physical walls she’s created. But will she be able to conquer her fears before anyone else loses their life?

3: Black/grey background. At the top Is set of numbers. 01-06. 03 is encircled in dark blue. At the bottom is my handle and an arrow on the right.

Teeming with magic, otherworldly creatures, discoveries, and journeys, every story is as thrilling and fascinating as it is passionate and meaningful. Worlds are discovered, lives are changed, and swords are drawn.

Disabled and chronically ill characters go questing, fighting dragons, healing, and enacting strange magics. Familiar fairy tales are reimagined, and new fairytales are forged, with each story shattering stereotypes and challenging traditional narratives. Come see yourself reflected—or discover something new.
