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!

You're books would have been in tatters, had they not been e-books. My love is the Colorado series. also the Burg, unfinished heroes and Magdalene are faves. Your biggest danish fan ☺. One of the things I love, is the ages of everyone. And the lots and lots of pages to read! I am impressed with how much you manage to do. Along with writing, you are out meeting rock chicks. How do you make sure not to burn out?

Hey Mam! So I have read majority of your books (not all). The one thing that I want to ask is that- Does the man like the one in your books, really exists? That much passionate? That much caring? Have you met someone like them? Or is it just the blessing of an amazing imagination? I would really like to know so. Thanks! P.S. Thank you for creating Lucas Stark! :)
