Blue Bloods Trivia!

In which book does the Four Hundred Ball take place?

How do you approach picking the vampire’s respective angel names? Research their meanings and see what character fits? Which incarnation comes first in the process?

Usually I pick the names of the characters first then figure out the angel equivalent. I go through Hebrew, Christian, Muslim and Indian mythologies and more.. 

Answer to today’s Guess the Quote: Kingsley to Mimi, The Van Alen Legacy, pg. 343!

hi! so I noticed that a few of the Blue Bloods novels have epigraphs from song lyrics. how big of an influence has music had on you and your writing process? and on a related note, did you compile the first playlists? :)

Yes I did, only the very first one though. I have a fab assistant who helps with them but I have to approve them all. 

Music is a huge influence on a book’s theme I would say. It’s a lot of fun choosing the right epigraph.
