What do you think of librarians? Also, as a reader/author, how can you persuade others to read?
Kristen Ashley
What do I think of librarians? I love them! How can you not love a librarian? I used to work in the library in Junior High and High School. And one of my best friends, and a woman who I admire greatly, is an MLS who works at Denver Public Libraries. This is one of the reasons I created Faye in BREATHE. :-)
I must admit, I'm not sure how to answer your second question except to say my best way to persuade folks to read is to write books I hope are emotionally engaging and worth every moment reading them. I've had a number of my readers say they recommend my books to friends and family, even those who don't read - and they find themselves immersed in my books. As you can imagine, that's a HUGE compliment! So I would say that's my best way to do it!

Hi Kristen! I just want to start out by saying I am huge fan, I have read and re-read your books countless times. So my cousin just moved to Fort Carson and in a little over a month I’ll be making my way west to visit her. Now I’ve already made a list of places I’d like to see based off of your books and a few other places that I want to see but I was wondering if there were any places that you personally recommend?

Looking forward to Noc's story. Sure would like to read more about the Korwahks and I'm still hoping for a book about Valentine. She reminds me of a sleek, well fed cat who has never had her fur rubbed the wrong way. Always cool, standing on the outside, looking in. I think you said Noc was the last one, but please would you consider Valentine and more Korwahks?
