At Ashfire Moon all of our content is free, but we welcome your opinion in return. Artists are poor judges of their own work. If you enjoy something we’ve created Like, Comment and Share. It’s that simple! Your feedback will guide us as we explore new worlds, design new characters and write new stories.

If it is an extended escape you crave, step into our library, select a title and start reading.
