FORT ATKINSON, Wis. - s4story -- The BlindSided Project is something very close to Ms. Ashton's heart. On her podcast, Criminal Lines: Pages From the Life of a Crime Writer, there are episodes where she shares her own story about dealing with severe anxiety.

"The rapid heartbeat and breathing, sweating, and being unable to control my worrying about (Every. Single. Situation.) kept me from wanting to socialize with others or attend events. The stigma that surrounds anxiety, which is listed as a mental health disorder, kept me from seeking help.

"It's one of the reasons I decided to work behind the camera and start my own publishing company, Criminal Lines. I'm hoping BlindSided, and the other books in The Forgotten Daughter series will help people of all ages, to realize that it's okay to seek help. If readers can relate to the characters in the book, then I've done my job."
