About this author

Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA. She nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn't taken her first breath!).

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana but has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.

rasc You woman, are a bloody genius !! I had a taste for some hot alpha male badassness so I decided to re read Sweet dreams, which is my favorite book of the colorado mountain series btw, and I fell in love with TATE all over again.

Sally forth and write more MY dear KA !!! Looking forward to all your GEMS.


message 127: by Josie

Josie Kristen, I cannot describe in words the addiction I have to your writing. I just cannot get enough. As much as I'm looking forward to the release of many in your series, I haven't heard anything about Heaven and Hell 2. I find myself still thinking about this book 3 days after I have finished it. What wonderful writing, and what emotions. It is not often I find myself in tears reading, but this book got me. Look forward to reading more in this series... As well as e others. Rock on sista.

Help, I have been waiting for this???/


message 93: by Diana

Diana How did I only discover your books a few weeks ago? I'm already reading book 4 of the Colorado Mountain series! I can't put them down and have lost several nights of sleep. All I can say is if I knew all of these fine men were sitting around in Colorado waiting to be snatched up I would have moved a long time ago! So glad that even when I finish this series you have several others ones to follow up with, can't complain! I love my alpha males and you are the queen of writing them to perfection!


message 92: by Heather

Heather I just wanted to tell you, I found one of your books by chance on my nook and I absolutely loved it! I looked up the rest of your books and every single one of them grabbed my interest. I have been bragging about you to all of my friends. I am an avid reader and I just love your books so much. I just wanted to let you know. =)


message 91: by Sherry

Sherry Finished "games of the heart" just now...definately my fav in that series!

My proplem is that I don't know where to go from there?!?!?!

I started with Dream Man, went to Colorado Mountain Man, then Rock Chick, to Knight, and then just finished Rhe Burg series...what next????


message 90: by Sherry

Sherry I want to smack Rocky!!!

Ugh! I am actually feeling bad for Layne this time around...


JenJenBoBin OMG Kristen I thought Rock Chicks 1-7, Heaven and Hell, Until The Sun Falls from the Sky, Play It Safe and Knight were awesome until I started Fantasyland Wildest Dreams I am only 50% done but Frey and Finnie have stolen my heart! Thank you thank you for all your wonderful books I adore them and I owe my friends big time for pushing me to read them! You are one in a zillion Sistah... Rock On!


message 88: by Amal

Amal cant wait for our kick-ass Heroine Sylvie!!!!
As usual loved ur book.... 'Breath!'.......rock ooooooooon!!!!!!!!!!!!


message 87: by Sherry

Sherry Loved it...was wondering how a lot ogre owes said it was ok but the least favorite of the Burg series ...well, I loved "for You" so if it gets better, WOW, just WOW!


message 86: by Sherry

Sherry Decided on "For You" next...

Loved theirfirst night together but I am on pins and needles worrying g about when she's going to run and what her reason was for leaving 20 years ago...

As usual, you've drawn me in...better keep writing cause I don't know what I'll do when I run out of KA reading...you may have ruined me for other writers! :)
