So I am sad for waiting till march for Kat and Dan's story... But I guess I will survive...What is most surprising thing you learned writing this series? Or one of the books?Because you taught me some interesting things and made me research...xx

#1 Pizza shoes (from 'Dating-ish')
I know it shouldn't be the most surprising, but for some reason I can't seem to get over it.
#2 That many readers felt the plot of 'Happily Ever Ninja' was far-fetched.
I didn't think it was at all far-fetched as Nigeria is #3 in the world for kidnappings of oil workers, the Boko Haram are real and so are the flats of money left in random apartments. The bunkers are also real and the character of Fiona is based on a real person (ex CIA). It was all real, well researched, and based on fact. So it surprised me (and honestly made me a little sad) that readers had such a hard time accepting it.

Hi, Penny. I just recently discovered your books and, I have to say... I LOVE them. I'm completely enamored of your writing style. You deliver a perfect mixture of intelligence, humor and sexy. I read that you said you were thinking of giving Martin's (Elements of Chemistry) POV. I'm wondering (hoping! praying!) if you've decided to go ahead and write a book from his POV after all?
