A.L. Heard is a Pittsburgh-area writer. She’s been writing fanworks for over a decade and self-published her first novel, Hockey Bois, in 2021. Since then, she’s written several short stories and novels.

Ashley spends her free time writing about characters she adores in worlds she’d like to explore: hockey romance, historical fantasy, and queer romance.

In between writing projects, she works as a language teacher, plays hockey, tours breweries with her boyfriend, and is a very sleep-deprived hockey mom.
