Kati asked Katie McGarry:

I am in love with of all of the characters in the Pushing The Limits series! After reading the series over and over again, I can't help but wonder how you come up with these stories and the characters. Are the characters and situations completely from creativity? Or are they based upon people and places you've been or met? Thank you and I am a HUGE fan! Thanks, Katie P.S: You have an awesome name! ;)

Katie McGarry Hi Katie,

I love your name too!

I do use past experiences and emotions I have gone through to create my characters and the problems they face. It's sort of like saying my past is like a sheet of paper. I ball it up, smash it up, tear it up. It's still a piece of paper, but different. That's my stories. I take something of me and twist it up until it's not me anymore and give it to my characters.

Thank you for the question!

Katie
