Daniela wrote: "Hi Penny, Which book of yours would you like to see on either big or small screen?"
Hi Daniela!
This is a tough first question... I'd have to say 'Beauty and the Mustache,' but even then I'm hesitant. I don't know that I trust Hollywood to make an adaptation as weird as the books.

Hey Nicole,
I'm putting the finishing touches on ... Beard with Me
AAH!!
Zsuzsa wrote: "Hi Penny!You co-wrote the Rugby Series with L.H. Cosway.
How does collaborating with another author work?"
It was magical! I love all things LH Cosway, so it was a bit like a dream come true.
Ines wrote: "Hi Penny !! Love your work !!! What’s your biggest inspiration when you are writing ?"Real life and real people. Truth is always stranger than fiction.
Cassie wrote: "What is your "must have" when you get in the writing mode?"My Spotify playlists (for that particular book). They are ESSENTIAL. (sorry for shouting)
Tracy wrote: "Hi Penny, I was wondering when you are coming back to Pen Conn in St. Louis?"Hey Tracy,
Hopefully one day! I'm feeling somewhat traveled-out at the moment. Once I get a full month at home, I'll look to the future! Thank you for wanting me to visit again. <3

I think it is awesomely fantastic that you have given access to your world for other writers.
So thanks!"
Our next submission period will be November - December 2019
Woot!
Ahana M Rao wrote: "Hey Penny, Who’s your favourite protagonist of yours and of any book you’ve read of a different author’s?"
My favourite protagonist is usually the one I'm writing at any given time (so right now, Scarlet/Claire or Billy Winston).
My favorite ever is Anne Elliot from Persuasion. I fell in love with her quiet strength. She exemplifies traits that are frequently dismissed and diminished by society, but that matter most (in my opinion).

Oh! I answered something similar.
The truth is, Cletus is based on me... sorry if I just made things weird. Again.
Carolina wrote: "Which of all your books would you like to see as a TV serie?"Hey Carolina, I'd have to say 'Beauty and the Mustache,' but even then I'm hesitant. I don't know that I trust Hollywood to make an adaptation as weird as the books.
Betül wrote: "If you could co-write a book with any author in the world, who would you pick and why?"In romance? LH Cosway. Always <3

Hi AJ!
I have!
I have a longtime reader who I'd love to base the character on. She is so wonderful, and I feel like she'd have a zany awesome meet-cute with who ever she ultimately ends up with. I'm planning to include this character as part of my Ideal Man series. The first book is Pride and Dad Jokes
Of note, we have a first generation Indian-American author writing (as a part of Smartypants Romance) in the Winston Brothers world, launch 2 (spring 2020).
I CAN'T WAIT!!

I CAN'T WAIT either to read all the Smartypants Romance & your new series kickstarting in 2020!

An avid ReidRomance Reader.
Hi!Just curious to if you have any specific music and artists that you listen to or if you even listen music to get your "creative juices" (lol) flowing?
I find that music really helps with whatever mood I am in and I always think better with music in the background
Which character of yours is your favourite and why?
What author/authors inspired you to become an author yourself?
Hi Penny, Where is your favourite place to holiday?
How do you know if you have a good book idea?Artemis
Hi, Penny!! I wanted to ask have you always known how Billy and Claire's story was gonna go or were you just finding it along the way as you wrote and released the WB books that came before it? So excited to read their story!!
Hi Ms ReidI'm curious, which series/book was the hardest to write and why?

Hi Brianna, I do! I have spotify (public) playlists for all my books (reidromance if you're interested in listening along).
Irma wrote: "Which character of yours is your favourite and why?"Whichever couple I'm writing is currently my favorite. So, right now, Billy and Claire/Scarlet from the Winston Brothers.
Beach Bums Romance wrote: "What author/authors inspired you to become an author yourself?"David Sedaris, Colleen Hoover, and Jane Austen.
Simmone wrote: "Hi Penny, Where is your favourite place to holiday?"
LONDON! I love London. . . mostly because of the food. LOL!
Diana wrote: "How do you know if you have a good book idea?Artemis"
I don't. I write mostly for myself, and usually don't consider whether the idea/story is good or not.
Zaira wrote: "Hi, Penny!! I wanted to ask have you always known how Billy and Claire's story was gonna go or were you just finding it along the way as you wrote and released the WB books that came before it? So ..."I'm glad you asked this!
Billy and Claire/Scarlet's story has been written in stone since Truth or Beard. There's nothing I can do to change it, I can only tell it. <3
Aly is so frigging bored wrote: "Hi Ms ReidI'm curious, which series/book was the hardest to write and why?"
Book: Beard In Mind
It was a very personal book, and was therefore difficult to write.
THANKS EVERYONE!! I enjoyed answering your questions. Have a great rest of the summer.

Hi Debra,
I don't know that I was ever inspired, per say. More like, I've always written stories because it felt like I had to... if that makes sense. If I didn't write them down, they'd stick around and irritate me, like sand in a bathing suit or a hair in my mouth.
