Hi Penelope! So going by your music playlist and what you write in the book, I was wondering if everyone listens to the same genre or if each have a favorite? A lot of what you listen to, my boyfriend listens to. I was never a fan before but being with him I've grown to appreciate it and enjoy it more now with the books!

My characters, you mean?
Well, yes, I suppose they have the same tastes for the most part. Music helps develop my scenes, and certain songs have even put ideas into my head. There are only certain genres that affect me, so it makes sense that I would use those to inspire my stories.
However, Madoc and Fallon were more eclectic. Madoc liked rock, but when I explored his personality I found that he also liked alternative and rap. Fallon was more folksie. But since Jared and Jax are more volatile characters, rock--hard rock--made a lot more sense. :D
Thank you!

Hi Penelope, I'm back with new curiosity! I'm currently re-reading Until You (you're the only one who can get me out of my book slumps) & I'm loving being in Jared's head again. I notice that your work involves a lot of music & I really enjoy listening to your picks- it heightens the whole experience (especially with Corrupt). I was wondering, how important is music to your writing process? TY :) Christianne

Hi. Love your Fall Away series too much, read it for so many time. I'm exaggerating. Lol. I love the drama, lessons, characters, their tragic past... just everything. I want to have a paperback copy but I can't find any copy here at the Philippines, is it available here or do I have to buy online? Is there a possibility of you coming here and have a book signing? Thanks :)

Hey Pen! There’s two things! 1. I just want to say I freaking loved Hideaway and I’m super looking forward to Kill Switch! Thank you so much for writing them! You and your books are brilliant! 2. A quick question! Since Corrupt was inspired by Frankenstein and Hideaway, Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde, have you decided on your inspiration for KS?
