BrandyD asked Penny Reid:

First of all, you're like, a total rockstar of a writer and I lurve your work! My question is sort of a two-parter. Of all the characters you've created, which character(s) is/are most like your own personality and with which do you relate the most? Also, are any characters inspired by your husband? Which one(s) and how are they similar (looks, personality)? Thanks for answering! Sincerely, Texas Fangirl :)

Penny Reid Heya Texas ;-)
You are very kind. I know this is my mother-in-law trying to make me feel better about myself. (HI RUTH!) LOL! Kidding.
Okay, to your questions:
1. My personality: I think I exist in all my characters--in some shape, form, thought, or flaw-- but I'm not really like any of them. Cletus was written closest to how my internal thought processes work (when I'm feeling salty) and Fiona when I'm feeling kind (but I'm no ninja).
2. Greg, from the ninja books, is my husband. That's an easy question. He looks like Greg, acts like Greg, behaves like Greg. He is Greg.
