Angelina asked Katie McGarry:

Do you write certain scenes with a particular song in your head or do you write a scene and then relate a song to it? xo

Katie McGarry Hi Angel,

The answer is both. :-)

Sometimes I hear a song and it will inspire a scene. Other times I've already written the scene and, when I hear a song, it makes me think of it.

For instance, Dirt Road Anthem by Jason Aldean helped me create Ryan.

How Country Feels by Randy Houser wasn't released until after I wrote Dare You To, but it perfectly describes the entire novel to me. The music video is like a living book trailer to me for Dare You To!

Thank you,

Katie
