Jennifer L. Armentrout answers your questions

Do you ever use real people as inspiration for your characters?

Jennifer L. Armentrout Every once in a while I use real people for secondary characters, and they are always aware of it if I do

Hello :) I've always wanted to ask this question since I've seen every synopsis of your books. How this woman makes writing so much in so little time and transmit much of a story? Really, it's amazing how much your imagination fly through the pages. What inspires you either writing or new adult paranormal or gender?

Jennifer L. Armentrout Thanks! I literally work every day unless I'm traveling for events. Rarely do I have more than a day off from writing, so I'm able to write so much because I work 7 days a week at it. And I have a really overactive imagination. I bore easily, so that helps me jump from one thing to the next.

Hi! :) I was wondering what made you pick Roxy and Reece as the protagonists of Fall With Me and why you think they make a great couple? I'm really excited for their (and any future) story you come up with! Thanks in advance (:

Jennifer L. Armentrout When I first wrote Roxy and then introduced Reece, I immediately knew there was history there and there was a story. It's just something you know when you're writing if a character has a story that can carry an entire novel.

Hi Jennifer, I love all your books but im particularly excited about Fall With Me since I loved Roxy in Stay With Me. So my question is, since Roxy and Reece have some past history will we get some flashbacks as well as the present? Also, are you going to put up some sneak peeks soon?

Jennifer L. Armentrout So glad you're excited! I don't do a lot of flashbacks in the series, but you will definitely know what went down between them. There will be teasers when we get closer to release

Can't wait for Katie's book :) Will it be the 5th or 6th?... And am I the only one getting a Katie and Nick vibe?... ;)

Jennifer L. Armentrout I don't have any plans to write a story about Katie at this point, but Nick is the main male character in Forever With You

Hi, Jen! I was wondering, do you plan on writing any more of your Wait For You series from the guy's POV, like you did with Trust in Me? Cause I think that would be awesome. :)

Jennifer L. Armentrout I would like to one day, but I don't want to burn readers out on POV flips

Out of every book that you have written (and there's a lot), which male character was/is your favorite to write about? P.S. I love all your books! <3

Jennifer L. Armentrout Thanks! That's too hard for me to pick. LOL. Depends on the day I think.

Will we get to see Reese or any of the other characters in Colton's novella? I'm was so happy when I heard that he was getting a novella because I really liked him in Stay with Me. I didn't think he would get a story.

Jennifer L. Armentrout Yep. I'm excited to give Colton his story, too. =)

I am going to do a research project for one of my college classes about the difference between young adult and new adult literature. I think you're the perfect person to ask since you write amazing stuff in both genres. :) What do you think determines if a novel falls into the young or new adult categories? Which do you prefer to write?

Jennifer L. Armentrout The main difference is age and what they are doing, not so much the content. If they are in high school, it's YA. If they are in college or out in the working world, you're dealing with NA. Good luck!

Hi Jennifer, absolutely adore your books! I noticed that Fall With Me is going to be published in Mass Market Paperback by Avon and I was wondering if Wait For You, Be With Me, and Stay With Me are going to be reprinted into Mass Market Paperback as well??

Jennifer L. Armentrout If Fall With Me does well in mass market, there is hope they will go back and re-release the first three in mass market. It's a wait and see kind of thing

Hi there, First let me say, I adore your books. I have read almost all of them, including your new adult books. Way to go, you are an amazing author! Now, I actually did have a question if I can remember it after that fangirl session... Ahh yes, my question is this: Do you ever have issues with some aspects of your stories bleeding into other stories, or if not, how do you keep them separate? Thanks, D Berg

Jennifer L. Armentrout Thank you! It can be difficult to not let one book bleed into the other, so that's why I don't work on multiple books at the same time. Helps keep them separate.

In FWM I realise there's a creepy stalker dude. But do we see any crazy ex girlfriends/boyfriends or other people that are interested in the 2 main characters? (Like We've had steph and Aimee in the previous books)

Jennifer L. Armentrout Well, Steph really wasn't a crazy ex. She was just a girl who used to date/hookup with one of the male leads. Totally normal and didn't try to interfere with the couple, but no, there's no crazy ex plot lines.

Will your publisher upload it to NetGalley? As a fan of yours and the series and as a blogger, I can't seem to wait till the release date! I also contacted the Reviewers page on your publisher's page, but I haven't got an answer yet..So, I thought why don't ask Jen? And here I am... :)

Jennifer L. Armentrout No. In the past when we loaded it up on Netgalley it was pirated within an hour. While we can't stop a book from being pirated after the release, it's too much of a risk to have a book pirated months before it's release. So until Netgalley and Edelweiss has better controls to prevent people from pirating it, my books will not be up there for general download.

I can't even begin to explain how much I love your books! It was amazing to meet you at BookCon last year! (2014) My question is about Fall with Me: Will the book carry on from where Roxy & Reece are at in Stay with Me or go earlier in their lives? I'm so incredibly excited!!! :D Thank you so much for all of your wonderful stories!!

Jennifer L. Armentrout Bookcon was crazy! It will start where Stay With Me ended. Thank you!
