If it ain't good I don't read it !

Penelope Douglas:
Writing a successfully series the way you did, did you have a general idea on how they each individually would map out as far as love interests, plots, etc would go or was it touch and go after Bully? I've read series where after the first book that star-factor was missing and the next installment didn't have as much of an impact. Which wasn't the case for your series, so what was your mindset writing this series?
Penelope Douglas
Hey!!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the whole series. For me, it was more touch and go, actually. I knew who their love interests would be, but the stories were planned out as I got in the character's heads and wrote them. You discover so much so much when you leave room for the unexpected.
I think the only thing I made sure to stick was not to move forward until it felt right. I sat at my chair, and I didn't force it. Not every book pleased every reader, and of course, there are a few things I would change if I could go back, things you realize after you publish, but overall I was glad so many readers continued the series as it went on.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for the question!

I just finished Corrupt and it was fantastic! I have two questions! Which of the Horsemen was your favorite (writing, imaging, the one that stole your heart) and do you think you will revisit this genre in the future, whether it is a follow to Corrupt or a completely new story line? Your are awesome!!! Can't wait for what the future holds for you and your work!
