My new book Laughing in the Dark is about:
When Malik “Mack” Freeman returns to his strange hometown for Grandma Ruby’s funeral, he expects grief, awkward family conversations, and maybe a house he can sell to fix his broken life. Instead, he inherits the old Freeman home on Mercy Lane, a house the locals swear has been “resting” for years and should never be entered after midnight.
Malik laughs off the warnings, because joking is how he survives fear. But the house begins to speak. A locked room laughs upstairs. A basement door breathes. Family portraits change faces. Bibles turn blank in church. And across Freeman Crossing, people begin laughing uncontrollably before vanishing into the darkness below town.
With the help of fierce Aunt Pearlene, dramatic but faithful Deacon Leroy, and Tasha Reed, his old flame and a determined detective, Malik uncovers the truth: the town made a terrible bargain generations ago, and his family has been guarding the secret ever since. But Grandma Ruby’s hidden diary reveals something deeper. The Freemans did not cause the curse. They were chosen to stop it.
As Mr. Grin, the terrifying spirit with too many teeth, spreads fear through the town, Malik must face the grief he has hidden behind jokes his whole life. To save Freeman Crossing, he must reclaim his laughter, name the truth, free the missing, and break the evil buried beneath Mercy Lane before midnight takes them all.

The Dragonstone Chronicles – Book One: The Forgotten Prophecy begins in a world where ancient magic has faded into legend and a prophecy once believed lost begins to stir again.

Lyra never expected her life to become tangled in forces older than memory, but when signs of the forgotten prophecy begin to surface, she is pulled toward a destiny she cannot ignore. What begins as uncertainty quickly becomes a journey filled with danger, mystery, ancient power, and truths that have been buried for generations.

Across Eldoria, old secrets begin to awaken. Magic long thought dormant starts to move beneath the surface, and the balance of the world becomes increasingly fragile. Lyra must learn who she can trust, understand the role she has been drawn into, and face the possibility that the prophecy was never truly forgotten at all.

Along the way, alliances are tested, enemies emerge, and choices become more difficult as the truth comes closer. Every discovery brings Lyra deeper into a story that began long before her own, revealing that the future of Eldoria may depend on whether the past can finally be understood.

Filled with fantasy, mystery, adventure, ancient magic, and a growing sense of destiny, The Forgotten Prophecy is the beginning of a five-book journey through The Dragonstone Chronicles.

For readers who enjoy immersive fantasy worlds, hidden histories, powerful legends, dangerous discoveries, and characters forced to rise to challenges they never expected, this is where the adventure begins.

The prophecy was forgotten. Its power was not. 🐉✨

There are some stories you spend years trying to forget.
And then there are the stories that refuse to be forgotten.
Unbelonging is mine.
I wrote this memoir because there were pieces of my life I had carried silently for far too long. Pieces filled with trauma, loss, anger, survival, and moments I wasn’t sure I’d make it through.
Writing them down meant facing things I’d spent years trying to outrun.
It wasn’t always comfortable. It wasn’t supposed to be.
But somewhere between the pain and the pages, I found something I hadn’t expected:
My voice.
So this is me, finally putting my story into the world.
I’m Ashley Ginett, author of Unbelonging.
And this is only the beginning. 🖤🦋

Ashley Ginett | Author of Unbelonging
Writer. Survivor. Storyteller.
I write about the things we’re sometimes taught to keep quiet—the messy parts, the painful parts, the parts that don’t fit neatly into someone else’s version of our story.
Unbelonging is my memoir. It’s raw, sarcastic, tender, angry, vulnerable, and ultimately about finding a way to belong to yourself.
This is my story. These are my words. Welcome to them.

I finally put my story somewhere new.
Unbelonging isn’t just a book I wrote.
It’s pieces of me.
It’s the things I couldn’t say. The things I survived. The things I was angry about. The things I lost. The things I had to learn about myself when belonging somewhere else no longer felt possible.
Writing it wasn’t always easy. Sometimes it was brutal.
But I finished it.
And now Unbelonging has a home here on Written.
If you’re new here, I’m Ashley Ginett—and I’m a memoir writer who believes that sometimes the most important stories are the ones we’re afraid to tell.
Welcome to Unbelonging. 🖤
