Ashleen O'Gaea
In case you're wondering, I pronounce my last name oh-jee-uh,
as in, "Oh, gee ... uh, I don't know how to pronounce that!"
I have a website 'cause I'm a writer, and I want you to take a look at my books.
I found home in my marriage, in Tucson, Arizona, in Wicca, and with my late kitties, and my Westies.

What's Goin' On
UPDATED 11 JUNE 2020:
What's new these days - besides the whole Covid-19 thing, and the many manifestations of the reinvigorated Civil Rights Movement - is that I am working not only on three new books (paperback and digital), but also some older books, which will soon be available for your e-readers.
"The Covid" has canceled most of the Highland Games for the year; we're still waiting to hear about one that might still go. We still hope to get out into the woods in September and October, so we haven't released our reservations. My wonderful husband is working on painting the interior of the Castle (our fifth-wheel) so that when we do get out on the road again, it'll be all light and bright inside.
I've got paperback proofs of six novels to, well, proof, bein' that they're proofs, and I'm waiting on one more.
* The Evershaw Century, an historical novel
* The Castle Ghosts, about a full-time RVer who finds her fifth-wheel haunted - twice!
* The Jollyfoot's Journey, Books 1 and 2, The Canicene Inheritance and The Camrian Bloodstones, and
* The Jollyfoot's Journey, Books 3 and 4, Return to Hecaton and Terra Prime
The Jollyfoot books are space operas, and crossovers with Mere Mortals' Magic, an older novel that I'm preparing for digital publication.
* The MacCollum Charisma is the one I'm waiting on a paper proof of. I've been working on it for over eight years, because it's a fairly complex story about a family trying to deal with an ancestral amulet that seems to hold the power of life and death.
My other news is that I have joined a local writing group! I'm the most recent join; there are at the moment five of us, and we meet by Zoom, twice a month. Every other Sunday, we send out excerpts from our work in progress, and on the following Thursday we get together for a couple of hours to offer constructive criticism. I've only attended two meetings so far, but it's already energized me, and revitalized my editing process. Yay! I'm really looking forward to a time - months off, but still - when we can meet in person!
I'll be participating in National Novel Writing Month again this November, and recently had an idea for a story that might take 50,000 words to tell. I have a couple of back-up ideas, too ... and I'm not ready to talk about any of them!~
Through PENtagram Consulting I offer editing and, well, consulting services. If you need an editor who doesn't aim to change your style, or if you wonder how to write Wiccans and other Pagan or Heathen characters realistically, get in touch! My rates are reasonable.
I'm a fully-ordained priestess, and the co-founder of the Adventure Tradition of Wicca. Canyondancer (my husband and priest) and I are available for presentations, workshops, and rituals. For more information, check out the Adventure Wicca page here, or e-mail us.
I'm also a descendant of Scottish Highlanders, a proud member of Clan MacCallum-Malcolm.
