Avidreader1412 asked Penelope Douglas:

Since you make a playlist for your story's, do songs help get you in a certain mood to write? Do you use old boyfriend's or your husband's personality to create the guy's in your Fall Away series? Do you have ideas for future novels that you have not made your fans aware of yet? Do you have any interest in writing a paranormal story?

Penelope Douglas Thanks for your questions, Amy!

1. Songs DEFINITELY help me get in the mood. In some instances, they help me work out scenes as well! Since my characters are young, the angsty, angry rock music sets the mood and tone of the story. I think I'll always use playlists.

2. The men in my life are definitely inspirations. Not old boyfriends necessarily, because I don't like men that are full of themselves, but my father inspired Tate's and Fallon's dad, and my husband is certainly an inspiration for the heroes.

3. I have an idea after CORRUPT that I'm thinking of working with the publisher on--more of a contemporary romance. It's still just a seed in my head, so I can't talk about it in detail yet.

4. Oh, yes! I love paranormal. I'm thinking of centering a story around the Four Horsemen ;)

Thanks for asking!
