Hello. I'm Ashleigh Wilkes. I started writing because I was appalled at the deluge of books here that glossed over cheating and abuse --- physical, verbal and emotional --- and had the bafflingly "kind" female leads forgive these heinous monsters only too willingly and too easily. Bizzarely, these cheaters with their "Greek God-like" looks only had to wink or smirk --- or do both --- and the female leads would dissolve into a pile of salivating, mindless jelly, and all the humiliation and abuse she had been subjected to wouldn't matter. Blink, and behold: she's in bed with the abuser faster than you can say P A T H E T I C.
We women are not weak and spineless. We are not toys to be broken, or doormats to be trampled on.
We women are strong, brave and beautiful.
Stripping a female protagonist of her pride and dignity in a book renders her a caricature, a mere thing, and not a woman.
A woman deserves respect. A woman deserves loyalty. A woman deserves fidelity.
My books were plagarised and I deleted my account. It took me a long time to come back. I wrote a new book, I Still Love You But, and rewrote Karma, my very first book. I am rewriting Paper Wife and it is ongoing.
Thank you for reading this.
