Hii! 1st things 1st i would like to say i'm a huge and i mean HUGE fan of your books. Every single one of them are a blessing to my life i'm not even kidding lol soo, i've been wanting to ask you this from some time now: Have you ever thought about writing a book about a very VERY shy guy? You know like those that on the outside are cute but maan! SO quiet but on the inside are like a wild lion waiting for their mate?
Kristen Ashley
Thank you for your lovely words, darlin'. You've made me smile on a Monday morning!
As for writing a shy guy, the answer to your question is, no. I've never thought of that. Though the coolness of interacting with folks is that you often get these awesome kernels of ideas that settle in your brain and then one day you find they take root. I had someone say something about "wouldn't it be interesting to write a romance where the couple actually gets together in the beginning and the rest of the book is about how they learn to be a couple together through all the shizzle life can throw at you?" I read that and thought, "EEK! What kind of romance novel would that be with the couple being all settled in with no push and pull, misunderstandings, fireworks, etc.?"
But I couldn't let the idea go. It was calling to me. And my novel WILD MAN was born and I loved that concept. I thought it worked great.
So, I digress. Even though I haven't thought of that...it's a cool idea and you never know what will happen!

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?

I've gotta share that it's fun talking about your books and series with other people. I work at a public library in NC and my coworkers and patrons LOVE your books. The original Rock Chick is a personal favorite of mine, along with Creed and Deacon. What news can you share about future series we can anticipate? Keep up the fabulous writing!!
