Ash Vale (they/them) is a queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent writer. Their writing tends towards dark fantasy, horror, and romance. Big fan of cryptids, guts, and weird things in the woods.
They're the byproduct of a French Canadian mother whose family took the path less traveled and ended up in Alberta, and a Norwegian immigrant father who doesn't like lutefisk because he's smart.
They're also one of the founders of the queer-led, speculative fiction magazine by 2SLGBTQIA+ authors, poets, and artists, Otherside Spec!
Ash lives and writes on Treaty Six territory, in amiskwacîwâskahikan, or Edmonton.
