Ashley Barrow Tuesday, April 2 Janey Graham Like This Too wired to go home after shift. Finally tried that place Coopers. Interesting staff who like to annoy the customers. Nice ass, though.    Hunter Graham    What?      Janey Graham      What?        Ashley Stuart        His name is Ian. Ian Stuart.

Ashley Barrow Saturday, April 6 Janey Graham likes this He’s Scottish, fun, teases to just the right point and I have to admit, not at all bad on the eyes.    Janey Graham    Does he have a brother?      Hunter Graham      Ha Ha Ha

Ashley Barrow Sunday, April 7 Have put away current project and begun work on an afghan for Ian. He liked the one I made that’s in the living room. Thinking I might keep him around long enough to finish.    Hunter    Wasn’t that other project for me? I know your weak spots Detective. Get back to work.    Ashley Barrow and Janey Graham Like This

Ashley Barrow Thursday April 11 Travis Ricci and Ian Stuart Like This. Met Ian’s oldest friend tonight at Cooper’s. Travis. Not bad on the eyes either and full of confidence and fun. I think he might be talking to the rest of the roommates about me at the house. Will have to dig deeper.    Travis Ricci    Told you I would leave Scotland in the dust.      Ashley Barrow      And I believe I remember what I said back.        Travis Ricci        Yeah, I told them that, too. Ha Ha        Ian Stuart Likes this

Ashley Barrow Monday April 20 Ian Stuart, Travis Ricci, Jason Sullivan, Quinn Nelson and Evan Harris Like This Finally meeting Ian’s roommates for a birthday party for the youngest, Evan. Nervous. He never talks about them, really. They just show up now and again unannounced. I’ve never been in the same room with all of them at once.    Jason Sullivan:    Looking forward to it.      Quinn Nelson      I get first dance.

Ashley Stuart Sunday, June 23 Ian Stuart, Travis Ricci, Jason Sullivan, Quinn Nelson and Evan Harris Like This Never learned as a kid what family really meant. Funny for it all came together here.    Ian Stuart    Welcome Home Sweetheart.

Re: Jacqui Jacoby | Ash to Her Friends

How do I connect with my friends? I personally connect
with them. I find the internet to be unsatisfying.
(Deb Philippon 2:29pm July 9, 2015)

Most of my friends are imaginary LOL ... typical writer
infliction. I use a lot to play with them and the Internet
to help them develop. I use FB because I enjoy it and a
lot of the real kind of friends don't live in town.
(Jacqui Jacoby Wilson 2:41pm July 9, 2015)

I contact them mainly by phone. I connect mainly by sharing things like: real thoughts, advise and events.

Facebook
(Marissa Yip-Young 5:34am July 10, 2015)

I connect on email, texting, facebook & at the gym or meeting
for lunch or shopping. I guess it helps that we're retired. I
haven't read your books yet, and I'm glad to find a new-to-me
author to read!
(Sharon Shearouse 11:01am July 10, 2015)

Anyone have any questions about Ashley? Or the cast?
There are five guys listed toward the end, all willing to
live or die for each other or the people they love, which
we would be Ashley.
(Jacqui Jacoby Wilson 4:27pm July 10, 2015)
