Hi, love your books! And, because I read fairly closely, I may have noticed some references here and there. (Allons-y!) How do you choose which ones to put in and when to put in?

Honestly, it comes down to what I can sneak in without it being weird. Since Sophie's not living with humans anymore--and none of her friends are fluent in human pop culture--it makes it a little tricky to not have the references read jarring. But whenever I find an opportunity, I get very excited. :)

Dear Shannon Messenger, Are you allowed to say what that legal reason is for not being allowed to read fans' writing samples? (I'm talking about the legal reason, not the fact that you don't have time.) I'm asking because if I ever become a successful writer I'd want to help aspiring writers, and hearing about this "legal reason" kind of scares me. Thank you!
