Sonia asked Katie McGarry:

Hi Katie: Another quick question: are we ever gonna figure out who Mia Ziggler is (or was)? I've been wondering about this ever since Breanna first mentioned her in WTE. And I thought you were gonna tell us about her in LWH but then you didn't . . .

Katie McGarry Hi Sonia,

When I start series, I have a broad, over arching idea of where plots and characters are heading. At the time I mentioned Mia Ziggler, I was pretty convinced I was going to write Addison's story next, but at the 3/4 mark of Walk the Edge, I realized Violet's story would be the third book.

I kept the reference to Mia Ziggler because I guess there is a part of me that hasn't given up the hope of someday telling Addison's story. The Mia Ziggler story told around Snowflake, KY would have had a great impact on Addison's story.

The Thunder Road series is only 3 books. That was the agreement me and my publisher came to and it's a decision I one million percent respect.

I think there's a part of me that just hated leaving Addison without a happily-ever-after so I kept that reference there as a reminder to me of who Addison is and where her life could go if she found the courage.

Thank you so much for the question and for reading my books!

Katie
