The Making of April Asher
April Asher’s love for storytelling began early, sparked by sneaking bodice-ripper romances from her mom’s bedside table. Growing up, she devoured works like L.J. Smith’s The Vampire Diaries and became a die-hard fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. These influences shaped her passion for paranormal tales with strong, witty heroines. A Virginia native, Asher balances her writing with her nursing career and family life, living her own happily-ever-after with her college-sweetheart husband, two kids, and a cat who’s convinced she’s part dog.
Initially, Asher wrote high-octane romantic suspense under her alter ego, April Hunt, but the pull of paranormal romance was too strong. As a nurse seeking an escape from reality, she found her true calling in crafting lighthearted, magical love stories. Her debut paranormal novel, Not the Witch You Wed, launched the Supernatural Singles series in 2022, marking her rise as a paranormal rom-com star.
