Jules Ashford is a storyteller by day and a tattoo artist by night. Her debut novel, Velocity, dives into the heart of urban cycling culture and crime, weaving a tale of love, resilience, and survival. When she’s not writing or inking intricate designs, Jules can be found biking through the city streets, chasing inspiration.
In Velocity, a routine morning delivery turns into a desperate fight for survival when bicycle courier Wren Hubbard stumbles upon a dying woman in a client’s home. The victim, investigative journalist Anne Cantu, uses her final moments to press a mysterious USB drive into Wren’s hands before urging her to run.
Moments later, Wren is shocked to discover that Dennis, a regular customer she knows from her delivery route, is actually a police officer—and he’s shooting at her. Barely escaping with her life, Wren finds herself suddenly branded as the prime suspect in Anne’s murder, forced into a frantic race across the city with her girlfriend Maggie.
