I wanted to ask you about the places in your books. I know that most of them are set in or around Louisville, where I am from, so I just wanted to know if any of the places (other than the University of Louisville) are real and if they're places I could go visit! Thanks!
Katie McGarry
Hi Becca,
I LOVE this question. I made up a lot of the places in my book, but they were inspired by actual places.
For instance the fountain where Echo and Noah first kiss is inspired by the fountain at St. James Court.
Groveton in Dare You To is a combination of Mt. Washington and Bardstown.
The dragway in Crash Into You is inspired by Ohio Valley Dragway. The large hill that Isaiah and Rachel hang out on is inspired by the hill in Iroquois park and some of the hills in Fairdale.
There are quite a few places in Breaking the Rules (Echo & Noah #2) that I have visited, but I'll talk about that closer to when their book releases in December.
Thank you!
Katie

Hi! So far I have read five of your books (Pushing the Limits, Dare You To, Crash Into You, Nowhere But Here, and Walk the Edge). Is there a certain order you recommend to read the other books and novellas? I love both of these series and thank you for writing them!

Hi Katie. I'm an Italian reader. I often read in English too, every time it gets easier. I've read pushing the limits in Italian and really loved it. Hopefully the following books of that series will be released in Italian too. Anyway my very compliments, I love your style. Did you get a writer because you loved reading? Or was it the opposite? Whatever it was, please go on doing it. You're great!

I've read most of your books and will continue to read and adore them and I know you've had many questions about writing more Thunder Road Series novels, and you've said Long Way Home is the last one, but will you make any novellas about certain characters like you did with the Pushing The Limit Series besides the newest novella And They All Lived Happily Ever After? I love your books and can't wait to read Breathe!
