Throwback: Only a Breath Apart Question: What is the first book of mine you read? I LOVED writing Jesse and Scarlett. They had the type of love that spanned since they were children, and it brought me so much joy to bring them together in their senior year. I also loved writing Glory--a self proclaimed psychic. #katiemcgarry #onlyabreathapart https://www.instagram.com/p/CMNCUTIgt8L/?igshid=rihqp6tckgxp

This painting hangs in my living room. My in-laws bought it for me and my husband this year because I had once mentioned how it reminded me of my first date with my husband and when I showed it to him in front of them, he agreed. Truth be told, the last two years have been absolute chaos for me, but I'm starting to find some peace. To be honest, the painting helps. I look at it and it takes me back to that magical night when my husband and I walked down the rainy, fall streets and he made me laugh. Not a fake laugh, but a real laugh. The type of laugh that starts down in your belly and can be heard from several blocks away. I remember feeling strange because my smile was stretched from ear to ear, and I couldn't remember the last time I had smiled or laughed like that. I was so shocked by that joy that I had stopped dead in my tracks and just looked at him in awe. Who was this man who had bewitched me? Up to a few months before meeting him, I had made some awful, major mistakes in my life, and the wounds left on my soul were still bleeding. I was trying like hell to turn my life around, and most days, I didn't believe I was going to succeed, nonetheless, believe I would find happiness. And then I had--unexpectedly. When I look at this painting, I'm transported back to that moment in the misting rain when I found happiness and hope again. This painting reminds me life is going to get better. It did once before and it will again. I know a lot of people have had a rough year, and I'm posting a picture of this painting to let you know, even in the darkest moment of night, there will be a sunrise. Hope, love and happiness are just on the horizon. **The painting is not an original, it's a copy of a Leonid Afremov painting. #katiemcgarry https://www.instagram.com/p/CJoSd-XA57Y/?igshid=1nw45aki2n9xl
Bought this shirt for my son off of teeturtle for the holidays. It makes me smile and is totally him! Do you have a favorite T-shirt? If so describe it or show a picture. (Don't worry, he doesn't follow me on social media so it will still be a surprise.) #katiemcgarry #tshirts #teeturtle https://www.instagram.com/p/CI03NYtg_Bq/?igshid=938ixb9vwt9w
Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update. I am working on editing a new book, and as of this second, I'm planning on releasing it sometime in spring 2021. This is a book that gave me absolute joy to write. It made me happy from beginning to end. It's a book that my critique partners have all called me gushing about. It's a book that I have decided not to shop around to publishers, and I'm going to publish it myself. Stay tuned for more details! I sold my first book in 2010, published my first book in 2012. Since then, I've released one to two books a year along with writing various novellas. I love writing, but I've been a bit slower at it over the past two years. The main reason is because, after someone in my family became ill, I took time off to help care for them, and then once they were better, the pandemic hit and my twins started their senior year of high school. I'm back to writing, but not as fast because I decided to spend as much time with my twins as I can. Soaking up all the nights in front of the TV together, soaking up making chocolate chips cookies in the kitchen with them, soaking up all the laughter and the smiles as both of them are hoping to go to school several hours away from where we live next year. I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still writing, that I'm still thinking of all of my wonderful readers, and I hope to have a new book to share with you soon! I've posted a picture of one of my favorite sunsets. It's a picture that brings me much joy so I thought I would share! It was also inspiration for my new book--so there is that small tidbit! #katiemcgarry https://www.instagram.com/p/CIV3X3eAKgg/?igshid=19aiyph9jflf4

Oz and Emily were just sultry to write. Their attraction leapt off the page! When I first came up with the idea for a motorcycle series, Emily's parents Eli and Meg were the initial couple I came up with, but when I realized that their story didn't end happily, I decided to tell their story through their daughter Emily. Some days, I'd still like to write Eli and Meg's story. Even though they ultimately married other people, they still had a beautiful ending--just not together.

I finished the first draft of a book! It's something I've never written before: an adult paranormal. I have no idea what I'll do with it as it's not anything under contract with a publisher, but I had soooooo much fun writing this story! I'm going to wait a few days, do a reread and dive into edits. Maybe someday you all will have a chance to read it! https://www.instagram.com/p/CBeUc1NAELt/?igshid=rfflo0xkub6f
