In Stasis

by

Ashley Peters

"In Stasis” is a lyrical, slow-burn survival novel that invites you to explore a dualityof worlds and survival from the perspective of an average woman.

“Jessi is forced to choose to flee to the forest with her dog, Janus, after facing abetrayal and to avoid arrest from the newly established authoritarian regime.Deep amongst the trees she must learn what it means to survive—both in thewilderness and this new world.Convinced she can live, unnoticed in the forest, Jessi must grasp to her humanity,uncover dimmed skills, and cling on to the hope there’s a way through this.Lurking beneath the surface is the nagging question: Is she truly alone in this vastexpanse?Each day a lucky gift, hiding away from the other shoe that threatens to drop, justbeyond the horizon, as signs of the world she left behind begin to creep in.Survival demands everything. Without an option to opt out, every day living is anact of resistance.Every choice demands her re-evaluation of what is necessary to endure in theface of erasure."

About the Author

Ashley Peters

I reside in East Austin TX with my partner ( Danny) and 3 fur baby rescue mutts ( Bently, Fredrik & Bruno). A self declared bibliophile and always a storyteller casting tales from a young age along the way I’ve typed away for various scholarships and minor publications. Now though, I’ve thrown myself into the realm of novel creation. When I’m not writing you can find me out in nature far from the chaos of the world, hiking, kayaking, enjoying good, inventive food or a matcha latte. At home my garden and library are my solitude though I deeply enjoy the artistic, quirky offerings of Austin. Having traveled the world each place and community has deeply impacted my life in ways I’m beyond grateful for. I can’t predict what’s next because it’s always an opportunity to take part and I’d rather hop on an adventurous side quest than die a bore.
