Award-Winning Author & Content Writer
Ashley S. Hattle likes disappearing into dark worlds. Whether it’s Darcy Coates, Riley Sager, Rachel Caine, or obscure horror movies, she turns to the macabre over rom-coms for comfort. Her writing career began in third grade when she wrote her first play about teddy bear bandits demanding candy bar ransoms. In high school, it was poetry and songwriting. Now, her passion is writing supernatural romance, thriller, and horror novels. Her genres have changed, but her love for Almond Joys has not. You can find her with her head in the clouds somewhere over Michigan.
Critics of NYC Midnight writing challenges have hailed short stories by Hattle as “exhilarating,” “ingenious,” and “alluring and evocative.” She is a five-time semifinalist of the NYC Midnight Short Story Challenge. Her debut nonfiction book on cluster headaches won her two awards in 2017 and 2018 for “Exceptional Education in Cluster Headache” and “Advocate of the Year” from nonprofit organizations. Hattle has worked as a full-time writer and editor for nearly ten years. Her work is featured online and in print, including Nature and INvisible Project magazines.

A Guide to Cluster Headaches
This book is a MUST HAVE. It is the definitive guide to all things cluster. My son is episodic with spring being his roughest time. It is complete torture to watch what he suffers through on a daily -hourly- basis when he is in a cycle. Anyone associated with a clusterhead: parent, spouse, friend, or doctor needs to read this book, then read it again. The references and links to advocacy groups who know and support CH research is priceless. Most importantly, it assures us all -especially our afflicted loved ones- that we are not alone with this bizarre, insidious malady.
Ashley, THANK YOU for validating my own research and teaching me more. There is strength in numbers, and together we will all fight the fight until a cure is found. In the meantime, we will do what we have to do in order to get laws changed so that the research which was halted long ago can begin again. I'll do my part by contacting my congressional representatives!

"A wonderful well written book! It was hard to put down with great characters and great plot twists. Had me guessing until the very end. A great read for the Halloween season. I definitely recommend this book!!"
- Allyson Oddis
"The story has enough twists and surprises to keep your interest and make it hard to put down. The characters are varied, including everything from your next door neighbor to wildly imaginative paranormals. The author did a wonderful job of bringing this all together and drawing the reader into it!"

A Well Kept Secret
It’s clear from your story that you’ve got a good mastery of your writing style. It shows in your diction, sentence structure, and ideas – you’re an excellent writer!
I really liked that your story was based on a real-world cave! It’s always cool when fiction has real-world roots.
The fact that you had a cliffhanger at the end of your introductory paragraph was so irritating – in an excellent way! It kept me hooked, along with the rest of the other golden nuggets of information (for example, “but he had more to lose” on page two) and interested throughout the rest of the descriptive exposition.
I GASPED when there was suddenly a ******! I knew that there was something there, but I was shocked to find it through him taking a photo. This sentence especially gave me chills: 'He froze as the image appeared over and over like a double exposure embedded in the darkness'.
