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

Your novels are absolutely amazing! I'd like to ask what or who your inspiration is that allows you to have such an emotional connection with your readers? The situations that the characters experience can relate to many young adult readers and can help them in so many ways to believe in themselves.

Hello, I have read all of your books and am so excited for Razor's story! This question isn't for me though. My Mom loves to read and I knew you would be the best person to go to for an excellent birthday present for her. I would love to know if you have a favorite book. (not written by you, though yours are AMAZING!) A book that you would recommend to a friend maybe? Thank you so much for your time!
