Author: Ashley M. Coleman

Ashley M. Coleman is a writer and music-industry professional whose fiction draws on the creative and commercial worlds surrounding contemporary artists. Good Morning, Love, her debut novel, follows Carlisa Henton, a junior account manager in New York who is also working toward a career as a songwriter. A chance meeting with rising R&B star Tau Anderson blurs the careful boundary Carli has maintained between professional ambition and personal feeling, placing both her reputation and her music at risk. The book appeared from Simon & Schuster in 2022. Coleman has described the story as informed by more than a decade of work in the music business, where artists, managers, media staff, and collaborators move through unusually compressed professional relationships. Good Morning, Love brings that experience into a romance concerned with mentorship, power, creative identity, and the uncertain early years of a career, while keeping Carli’s songwriting ambitions central rather than merely decorative.
