Abby asked Katie McGarry:

Do you base your books off experiences, and if not how do you come up with a story and passion for each of your characters ? :)

Katie McGarry Hi Abby,

Yes, I base my books off my past experiences and emotions. For things that fall outside of my realm of experience, I do a ton of research that includes reading and speaking with/interviewing people who have gone through whatever it is I'm writing about.

I hope you'll have a chance to read my newest novel, Say You'll Remember Me. It will be released on January 30, 2018!

Thank you,

Katie
