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.

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. :-)

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! :)
