Kristen Ashley grew up in Indiana, has lived in Colorado and the West Country of England but now she calls the Valley of the Sun home. Thus, she's been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least), but loopy is good when you want to write. Kristen has published over eighty romance novels, her work has been translated into fourteen different languages, she's sold over five million books and has won or been nominated for numerous awards. She's started the Rock Chick Nation as a way to give back to her readers. RCN has a variety of programs to promote a strong female community and has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to women's charities.
