In relation to Will and Damon's state of mind, would you consider them needing some sort of therapy? From Damon's perspective, we know he is very self-aware and is not in denial and Will's, we still need to learn about him. Not to go super deep into character analysis of fictional characters, but it is just because they channel their inner turmoil into their significant others and it's not fair to both Winter and Emmy

Well, personally, I think we all could use someone to talk to. ;) But honestly, I think of the horsemen as one person--a unit--that all work in symbiosis with each other. Michael is the leader. Kai is the wisdom. Damon is the passion. Will is the heart. They all support and rely on each other but also check the other when they need to.
Damon is unique, definitely an anti-hero, channeling his anger in everyone around him, but I don't think he targets Winter, because of what happened to him. I think he targets her, because he sees her at fault. He sees that what she did as an abandonment of him, but he rejects his responsibility in how everything went down. She was the one thing--other than Banks--he loved.
As for Will, I think he's justified--more than the others--in his resentment. But there are two sides to every story, so we'll need to learn her side, too.
I hope that answered your question. Thanks for asking!

Hi. Will there be another book similar to Misconduct (more adult, I guess you can say)? I love all your books and I absolutely could not put down Misconduct. It's one of those love/hate relationships. I love a great book because I can't put it down but I almost hate it as well because I know it will ruin the next 10-20 books I read until I find another great one :)

Hello Penelope! I would just like to say first that your writing has changed my life (honestly). You’re honestly my idol. I myself am aspiring to be a writer, so here’s my question… how do you deal with writers block? Is there anything you recommend to do? Sometimes I just feel so stuck and it’ll take me months to drag myself out of a slump or I’ll write something and hate it. What do you recommend?
