Penelope Ashton writes witty romantic comedies with heart about big-city love, pocket gardens, and found family. A former arts and nonprofit professional, she brings backstage savvy and neighbourhood warmth to her slow-burn, opposites-attract stories, like Hearts on the High Line, which is set amid New York’s hidden green spaces.
Her books are for readers who want humour with heart, community alongside chemistry, and love that stubbornly and hopefully grows through concrete.
She lives in New York City, overwaters her windowsill herbs, and volunteers with local greening efforts when she’s not plotting banter or near-kisses.
