Chocolate asked Kristen Ashley:

Hey KA, I've read all your books so far and i love each and everyone of them. I especially love it that you write about older couple (am 24). Your books are my safe place (i know that sounds weird...:p). but i'd like to know have you ever met any of your alpha heroes in real life??

Kristen Ashley Glad you're digging the books, Chocolate. :-)

And yes. My life has been filled with alpha men. From my grandfather (a quiet alpha), to my uncle (a protective alpha) to my brother (an UBER protective alpha) to random dudes I've met along the way (a soldier on his way to Afghanistan springs to mind, he chatted me up in Edinburgh...and he called me "buddy" - which is why Joe calls Vi "buddy" in AT PEACE, his pickup line was "How you doin', buddy." MELT!) And there's more...

So although my men are fictional, and exaggerated (in some senses) and definitely fantastical (in other senses), they are based in real. :-)
