Gregory Ashe has published over 120 books since 2011, building an interconnected world of LGBTQ+ mysteries, romances, and fantasies. The Hazard and Somerset series sits at the center of his output, following two detectives through cases and a deepening relationship that spans multiple sub-series and dozens of books.
Beyond the Hazardverse, Ashe writes standalone series like The Adventures of Holloway Holmes, the fantasy-tinged Flesh and Fell and Hollow Folk, and the recent Last Picks series.

His productivity is matched by the depth of his world-building. Series like Borealis Investigations, The First Quarto, and Witte & Co. Investigations each carve out distinct corners of his fictional landscape while maintaining the character-driven approach that defines his writing.
