blossoms asked Kristen Ashley:

Hi. Can I ask you something? So I'm reading Sweet Dreams, and Lauren says she thought "something special was going to happen to her. Something beautiful, spectacular, huge". And I thought, so do I! But obviously she believes she's been disillusioned with life. Is it true? Do you share in Lauren's belief that nothing lifechanging ever happens?

Kristen Ashley No...I don't. Now.

There was a time in my life when I did. When I was worried that "something special" I expected to happen (not knowing what it was...just open and longing for whatever it turned out to be) would never happen.

Then I started to publish my books. And it happened :-)

For many of us, we can be disillusioned with life. It can even happen more than once!

But then, hopefully, something will happen to make us believe again. Be it meeting a great guy, getting a great job, finding a new friend who enriches your life, going on a fabulous vacation that you'll remember forever, having a holiday with your family that's ultra-special.

Whatever it is, I know for my part, I'll always be open to it rather than closed down so I might miss it!
