I had the pleasure of spending a few hours yesterday with some old friends and their 16 year old daughter, Ashley, who is an aspiring new author.  I was honored when she asked me to review and edit a manuscript she has written.   Ashley is a very talented writer and I expect her career to blossom as she grows and learns as an author.  She writes with feeling and it shows in her work.  Her characters have depth and true to life personalities.  Be on the look out for Ashley Cabala as she is working towards getting published with her first Novel... "The Skull and the Typewriter".
