Just for curiosity what is the average time that it takes for you to write a book?
Kristen Ashley
These days, I don't have an average time! HA! When I was working obsessively, sixteen hour days, seven days a week, I could write a book in a week to two weeks.
These days, I try not to do that. Gotta fill the well (and update the website, etc. ;-)). So it all depends on if I have travel interspersed with writing. I can't write when I travel. Not even a page or two here and there! I have to be able to totally devote myself to a story. So if I'm traveling, it could take a couple of months to write a book.
If I'm not, it takes around three to five weeks. :-)

I see a new chaos book is soon being released. Yeah! Love them. Recently you and another great author Jill Shalvis were together at a convention. First did you two have a great time? Who is your all time favorite author you met and read? Who would you like to meet if you haven't already? Keep up your great story lines. Thanks Kristen, you Rock!

Kristen, Love you, you books, your writing style, the way you connect your characters from one series to the next......love is all....you are special!! My questions is whenever you read you say your books are going into print can I, an avid audio listener, presume that they will also go to audible? I have listened to every book you have in audible format and am waiting hungrily for more!!! Please don't ever stop!!!

A big hello from Brasil!!! Kristen, I love your books, specially the strong females. One of the things that I most admire about your writing style is that each character and plot are very unique. I never get that feeling that I'm reading the same story or about the same character all over again. Is this a difficult process? To separate each character and each story in your mind?
