Kristy asked Katie McGarry:

Just a quick note to tell you how much I enjoy your books. I do admit that they are a bit more "gritty" than I usually read but the depth that you create in your characters is so real and honest that I keep coming back for more. Say you'll remember me is my favorite. How do you get your ideas?

Katie McGarry Hi Kristy,

Aw, thank you for the amazing message!

A lot of my ideas come from past emotions and experiences. For instance, Say You'll Remember Me was a combination of situations from the neighborhood I grew up in, issues I saw happening at my teens' school and issues in our state.

I have a new series! The first book, Only a Breath Apart, releases on January 22, 2019! I'm so excited for you to read it!

Thank you for the question!

Katie
