J Tedore asked Peternelle van Arsdale:

Do you just write just scary books? How did your parents come up with your name? Do you get inspiration from other authors? How many books will you write? How did your career start? We have really enjoyed reading your book today - it has inspired us, both as readers and writers! From Class 13, Year 6.

Peternelle van Arsdale So far I would say both of my novels have had scary elements, yes, but we'll see what I do in the future. The novel I'm working on right now is definitely intense. I guess that's what I'm drawn to. I get inspiration from everything, and it's not always direct. I've been inspired by books as well as films and art. I started out as a book editor, and I still do that, while also writing my own books. I love what I do, and it means the world to me that you've enjoyed reading THE BEAST IS AN ANIMAL!
