Hi there and welcome to my website

Hi there and welcome…

My name’s Phillipa Ashley and I write contemporary romantic fiction for Headline Little Black Dress. I love writing exciting, fun and sexy stories set in the UK and further afield.

I’ve been very lucky on my publishing journey so far. My first novel, Decent Exposure won the Romantic Novelists Association Joan Hessayon New Writers Award and the TV/movie rights have been optioned by Fox.

My NEW book for Little Black Dress, Just Say Yes, is out this month - read an extract here.

When I’m not writing novels I work as a freelance journalist and copywriter so I’m always writing. Or talking. Or both.

There’s nothing I enjoy more than hearing from readers, so please drop me a line any time.
