Where do you find inspiration for your novels?

What do you love to do to relax? Love your writing! <3

Will you ever do another series that focuses on a sport? And also the struggles of mental health? I absolutely love Remy and Racer, and I loved the way you showed their struggles with having such a strong and powerful job that’s in the spotlight, whilst also struggling on the inside with things no one can really understand.

Hey Katy! Absolutely love your writing! Do you do any other work besides writing?

Which countries would you like to visit, either for inspiration for a story or just for fun?

Hello Ms. Katy! Will there be more books in the White House series?

Hi Katy!
I was wondering what type of scenes are the easiest and which one are the hardest to write?

Hi Katy - love your books! Have you got any plans for a UK/European signing, at all?

Hello Katy! Have you ever been to the Caribbean?

hi! if you could be any book character for a day, who would you choose and why?

Hi Katy
Awesome giveaway, thank you.
Any chance you’ll be doing a UK signing in the foreseeable future?

What was your last 5 star read?

If you could have lunch with 3 of your fave authors, dead or alive, who would you choose? Thanks.

Are you planning to write a trilogy I. The near future?

Hi Katy, what is your fave book?

Hi katy❤

How did you come up with the plot for remy's stories?

April wrote: "Hi katy❤

How did you come up with the plot for remy's stories?"

Hi April! It all started when Remy came to me, fully shaped and formed in my mind. I knew the basics: what he wanted, and why he was different, and I couldn't resist him. I took his insanely powerful energy and sat down to write, discovering the full story as I went along.

Nina wrote: "Hi Katy, what is your fave book?"

Hi Nina! One of my all-time favorite books is by Judith McNaught, Whitney My Love. I adore it! I also love as favorite each of my own books, each in its own way, as each represents a topic I'm exploring, or something I'm curious or passionate about.

Carolina wrote: "Are you planning to write a trilogy I. The near future?"

Hi Carolina! Yes! I'm planning to write another trilogy hopefully next year. :)

Karen wrote: "If you could have lunch with 3 of your fave authors, dead or alive, who would you choose? Thanks."

Hi Karen! I'd like lunch or dinner (or tea!) with Oscar Wilde, Jane Austin, and Emily Bronte. You're all invited! :)

Hi Tiffany! The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang, loved it!! So unique and fresh and heartwarming!

Hi Pamela! I'm currently checking my schedule to see if I could make it for 2019. Fingers and toes crossed! :)

J. wrote: "hi! if you could be any book character for a day, who would you choose and why?"

Hi J! I always want to be the characters that I'm currently writing. If I had to choose from all of them, I'd love to be in Malcolm Saint or Rachel's shoes. Malcolm is one of the only heroes that has never let me inside his head or given me his POV book, so that mysterious element keeps me wanting to come back for more! :)

Caroline wrote: "Hi Katy - love your books! Have you got any plans for a UK/European signing, at all?"

Hi Ree! Yes, I've been to the Caribbean when I was a teenager. We went on a cruise and island-hopped for the whole week - and I've always wanted to visit again!

Hi Betul! I think it all depends on the books. Some scenes flow really naturally, while others, you need to spend more time with, dig in a little deeper and harder to get to the gist of things. Sometimes they're hard because emotionally they're tough for you, or other times they are hard because you a) can't figure them out yet, or b) want them to be perfect and can't find the right tone/words to accurately portray what you want to.

Beatrice wrote: "Hello Ms. Katy! Will there be more books in the White House series?"

Hi Beatrice! I have a standalone planned for the White House series that I'm hoping to start later this year! It's for a new couple, but Matt and Charlotte definitely appear. :D

Daniela wrote: "Which countries would you like to visit, either for inspiration for a story or just for fun?"

Hi Daniela! I think when you're having fun, you're researching even without meaning to! I'd really love to visit Australia again (I honeymooned there but would love to return!) DEFINITELY all of Europe: UK, Italy, France, Germany, Spain...

I'd also love to visit Poland, Brazil, Argentina, Czech Republic, and Egypt! It's such a long list, but definitely hoping to make it happen one day.

Hi Amz! Thank you so much! I used to work as a graphic designer, then I was the manager of a very fabulous jewelry store, but my one deep love is writing and once I was able to start writing full-time, I haven't been able (or wanted) to stop! However I try to make time for my own hobbies and for my family. It's easy to get sucked into these fabulous characters' lives and worlds, but I have to remember I have my own as well. :D

Hy CerysAnne!

I'm a huge sportslover and mental health is a topic that I hold close to my heart. So you will continually, definitely be seeing these topics woven throughout some of my stories. :) Thank you for the Remy and Racer love!

Thank you Steffi! That means a lot!
When I want to wind down, I love to get out of the house. Go hiking, take my dog out and explore. Listen to music, dance like a silly girl! But when I'm REALLY stressed and that doesn't work, I definitely book myself a chakra balancing massage, or a hot stone massage, some reflexology, and for the next few days, I pull away from whatever it is that is causing me stress so that I can find center again. :)

Eliza wrote: "Where do you find inspiration for your novels?"

Hi Eliza!
Everywhere. Real life, a song, or a feeling (fear, lack of self-love, craving for connection, etc...) It sometimes comes out of the blue when you least expect it, while other times, it takes some "searching" to find it.

Hey Katy, I love your work! I always wondered about this, does the titles come first or the book? lol.
love from Brazil <3

Hi Katy! Love your books. Who inspires you and why?

What inspire you to become a writer?

Hi Katy,

I'm sure you know how much I love you, and how excited I am for Playboy. Is it the last book in the series? And I HAVE to ask you, will Malcolm and Rachel get another novella, or novel??? I NEED to see them with their baby. Ahhh, I miss them so sooo much. ❤️ xx

Have you thought about writing anymore for The White House Series? I just love it and the characters. I would even take a novella!!

how long will this series go on?

Hi! Katy. Just want to ask how can I be a part of your ARC team? Thanks!

Is there anyone in particular who inspired you to write manwhore characters?

Hi from Brazil!
are you a "one story at a time" kind of author, or do plots fight over your head for attention??

Hi, I love your writing especially the Manwhore series. What authors/books do you enjoy other than your own books?

Hi Katy!
How much of yourself do you incorporate into your characters? Which one is most like you?

Did you have a certain message you hoped readers would take away from this book?

Who is your go-to author to read?

What do you like to do in your spare time?

What is your must-have when you get into writing mode?

If you could choose an author to do a collaboration with who would it be? What type of book would you write about?

Hi Bianca! Thank you so much and love to you and Brazil!! In the case of Real, the title came pretty soon into writing the book. Same for Manwhore. While other times, I write the story first and write knowing that I'll discover the title as I go. :)
