Ashley Poston

Ashley Poston is an American author best known for Geekerella, a modern Cinderella retelling set at a fan convention that launched a loosely connected series of geek-culture fairy-tale retellings. In the catalog she appears for Heart of Iron, a science-fiction reimagining of Anastasia set aboard a scavenger's spaceship in a war-torn galaxy, continued in Soul of Stars. Poston has since moved into adult romantic comedy with novels such as The Dead Romantics and The Seven Year Slip, maintaining her interest in blending genre premises—hauntings, time slips—with romance. Across both her YA and adult fiction, Poston favors warm, high-concept storytelling that reworks familiar fairy-tale and fantasy structures into contemporary settings.
