Hi Harleen,

I'm also very excited about Breaking the Rules! We recently announced it will be released early (December 8, 2014).

I decided to continue their story because I didn't feel like it was finished. At the end of Pushing the Limits, Echo and Noah finally feel that there is hope for a future, but they still have some hurts that they need to work out before they can truly be happy. Breaking the Rules follows them as Echo and Noah work through their grief.

After Breaking the Rules, my next novel will be in a new series that releases in spring 2015. It will follow teens who are raised in a motorcycle club.

I would love to write stories for Abby and Logan. I'm not sure what the future holds for the Pushing the Limits series, but I'm crossing fingers and toes that I'll be able to continue writing it.

Thank you,

Katie(less)

Quotes by Katie McGarry  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I don't go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me.”
Katie McGarry, Take Me On

“The worst type of crying wasn't the kind everyone could see--the wailing on street corners, the tearing at clothes. No, the worst kind happened when your soul wept and no matter what you did, there was no way to comfort it. A section withered and became a scar on the part of your soul that survived. For people like me and Echo, our souls contained more scar tissue than life.”
Katie McGarry, Pushing the Limits

“I love you enough to never make you choose.”
Katie McGarry, Pushing the Limits

Thank you for the message about Pushing the Limits. I just loved writing Echo and Noah. Beth's story, Dare You To, takes place the August after Echo and Noah graduate!

Thanks,

Katie
