I am DL Ashmore, an author deeply passionate about crafting compelling crime fiction novels set in the vibrant city of Tampa, Florida. My love for this city shines through in my writing, as I intricately weave its unique charm and character into the fabric of each story. Themes such as police investigation, women's and veterans' issues, and animal behavior feature prominently in my novels, reflecting my interest in exploring complex societal issues through the lens of fiction.

What sets my novels apart is their grounding in reality. Local fans of my work will readily recognize familiar places and settings, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the reading experience. However, readers everywhere will find that the characters and situations in my writing are relatable to their own lives, transcending geographical boundaries to resonate with a wide audience.

I am proud to call Tampa my home, where I live with my wife and our three cats. This city has not only provided the backdrop for my stories but has also been a constant source of inspiration for my writing. I invite you to explore the world of my novels and discover the captivating stories that await within the pages.
