Candace

Candace asked Kristen Ashley:

How do you pick the names for your characters? And a lot of books I have read they have a bad/mean girl and a lot of times they are named Candace or Candy. I was wondering if you might know why that is. If you don't answer that's okay. I also want to tell you that you do a wonderful job with all of your books. So thank you for bring something so beautiful in to my life with your stories.

Kristen Ashley Hmm...a lot of my bad/mean characters are named Candace or Candy? I haven't noticed that and that's weird! One of my most beloved aunts is named Candace, my Aunt Candy. I adore her. She adores me. And she loved my mother to bits. So it isn't even subliminal!

Thus, I don't have an answer. I actually do my best not to "recycle" names (with 50+ books written, you can imagine this isn't easy). Could just be the way things went...my fingers when they're typing have a mind of their own. :-)

Ok, so Im a new fan. I started reading again at the beginning of september and since then I have read several of your books. I have read all of the "Dream Man Collection", the "Unfinished Hero Collection" and the "Rock Chick Collection". I want to continue reading linking collections in order.

Your Majesty The Queen of the Rock Chicks. Of course, I love your books and your writing! I adore all of your supporting characters so very much. From Bubba and Jim Billy to Uncle Vito and Daisy, I cherish them all. However, I must say, Cotton is my all time favorite. I am curious, who was your inspiration for him? Thanks for inspiring us all!

A Goodreads user asked Kristen Ashley:

Who are your favorite tough men that you have written? (I've read all the Chaos and Mystery Men and need to know what to start next! ;) Do you have any similar steamy books like Deacon's story? There was a specific new sexiness in the love scenes (done to Deacon and Cassidy) that I haven't read in your books before and it was HOT, not sure I can elaborate on here... Anyway you rock. Thank you for rocking so hard.
