Hi Randi,
Thank you for the question!
As of this moment, I don't have any more books planned for the Pushing the Limits series, but I will stop short of saying I that I'm done. :-) The series includes: Pushing the Limits, Crossing the Line, Breaking the Rules, Dare You To, Crash Into You, Take Me On, Chasing Impossible, The Proposal, and First Loves.
Hopefully you've had a chance to read the Thunder Road series (Nowhere But Here, Walk the Edge, and Long Way Home)! I also have a new stand alone book that will be released in January 2018, Say You'll Remember Me!
How do I get over writers block? Writer's block for me is typically when I've taken a wrong turn in the story and I haven't admitted that to myself yet. I usually take a break, go for a run, watch TV then start reading what I've written from the start to see where I went wrong.
When writing, do you determine central plot line or characters first? A bit of both. There are times I have an idea for a plot for. Sometimes it is the character. Most times I have a vague idea for a book and a vague idea for a character. I start to write and then the plot and the character come to life on the page. But by doing this, I have to be okay cutting a lot of what I initially write.
What's your favorite color? Purple. :-)
Thank you,
Katie

Will we have an Abby Story? I know it must be hard writing for someone so loved by your fans and expectations could be high but we believe in the awesomeness of your writing. How soon will he hear about another series from you? Tomorrow? Sooner? Next year? Thank you for writing!

Katie McGarry:
This question might be asking for too much information. In that case please don't answer! I'm just curious. You mentioned before that your Thunder Road series involved motorcycle gangs in your past. How does one casually find a motorcycle gang to take one in for a while so you can find inspiration? Is it, the book came second or do you have very good persuasive skills? Love your writing. Thanks for the stories!
