Hi again, Queen. Normally I can't reread a book. Knowing what happens next detaches me. Rereading MM has broken this sucky curse! Thank you! On the first read I was deep into Tyra's POV and really experienced her uncertainty w/ Tack. Now that I "know" him, there are SO MANY latent nuances of wonderfulness I missed the first time. How'd you accomplish this? Also, @ what point does the red car become Tyra's in his mind?
Kristen Ashley
It's a real honor that MOTORCYCLE MAN has broken through the no-reread curse! That's given Tack a good grin.
As for the nuances, my hope is that my characters are deep and rich, have history and baggage and hopes and dreams, strong personalities and they care about their relationships. So perhaps that's what gives the story "latent nuances of wonderfulness." I, obviously, think all my stories have a variety of latent, non-latent and shout-it-from-the-rooftop nuances of wonderfulness, so I'm not the one to ask. HA!
Last, you know, I've never been asked when Tack decided the Mustang was for Tyra. And to be honest, I'd have to reread the book (I haven't done a reread in what has to be years now! Whoa!) to answer. I'm so sorry. Though, because of that, YOU can decide when he decided. And I'm sure whatever you decide works. :-) xx

Just wanted to say how encouraging and AWESOME it is that you are doing this! Thank you! Your books got me through some amazingly dark times and the fact that you do this says so much! Also...a random thought...I was born with two first names (as most people tell me) and Ashley was the first:) and it's always neat to see others with it also!? You are amazing!!!!

I have a silly question. I love the way you never leave loose ends especially with characters that have been through so much. Cheryl and Lanie come to mind as characters who have gotten their HEA. I've become curious about Marianne, from Rock Chick. Last I remember, her husband had cheated, she had gained a lot of weight and was miserable, and I don't recall ever reading if her situation had improved. How is Marianne?
