Hey Katie! Not exactly a question here, just want you to know that your books have really helped me a lot. I read all your books during the lockdown, and believe me when I say that they got me through some rough days. So thank you. Now that I'm actually writing this, might as well ask you something... Has this pandemic affected your writing in any way? Would the next book be something different?

Hi Teetas Sinha Mahapatra,
Frist off, thank you for the amazing message. I'm so happy to hear you have enjoyed my books and that they helped you through the pandemic.
Has the pandemic affected my writing?
Short answer: yes. That and a combination of other personal things that happened in my life made it very hard for me to focus on a YA Contemporary. In my books, I usually tackled tough issues, and I found that I couldn't focus on tough stuff. I was already in a rough place personally before the pandemic happened and then the pandemic just made the dark feel darker. I found happiness in writing A Wicked and Beautiful Garden. It is an adult paranormal book that was fun to write. And I discovered that was what I needed--an escape from reality.
Thank you again for this message!

Katie McGarry:
I've read all the books in the PTL series (multiple times) and felt a different connection to each character I was introduced to. One character that I instantly loved the moment I met her was Abby. I'm dying to read her story (and Logans!) but I found out too late that there was one and that there was a deadline to get it. I was wondering that if sometime in the future there would be a way I could buy this book?
