Welcome to Swoony Boys Podcast! Today is our stop on the APOLLYCON TOUR. Not only are we thrilled to be Apollycon bloggers, we are also crazy excited about all of the authors and vendors who will be there attending this amazing event in March.
Today we are spotlighting one of our fav authors, Katie McGarry! We’ve got info on some of her books plus a fun interview! While you’re here, you definitely don’t want to miss out on the awesome giveaway at the bottom of the post! But first, let’s get to know Katie a little better:
***Meet Katie McGarry***
KATIE MCGARRY was a teenager during the age of grunge and boy bands and remembers those years as the best and worst of her life. She is a lover of music, happy endings, and reality television, and is a secret University of Kentucky basketball fan.
***FAST FIVE (Q&A)***
1. Thing You’re Most Excited About For Apollycon 2017?
- I’m super excited to see friends, some of my favorite authors and my readers!
2. Last Trip You Took?
- Ocean City, MD. I spent three days at the beach with my family and I absolutely loved putting my toes in the sand!
3. Last Thing You Treated Yourself To?
- A hot fudge Sundae. I LOVE ice cream and hot fudge makes me extremely happy. I’m also a huge jelly donut fan.
4. Last Person You Hugged?
- My husband. We’ve been together for over twenty years, married for seventeen. I was deeply in love with him the day I married him, and I’m deeper in love with him now. With that said, we’re a real marriage, with real ups and downs, and all of that helps with writing three dimensional characters and relationships.
5. Favorite place in the world?
- There’s an older country song by Lone Star called My Front Porch Looking In. It’s a favorite song of mine because it describes my favorite place in the world—my home. A lot of the song also perfectly describes my life.

Katie McGarry is new to me so I’m supper excited to meet her at Apollycon. I love meeting new authors.
Katie McGarry is definitely not new to me! I love her books! Pushing the Limits was, to me, a great introduction to the more social and health issues that can be artfully highlighted in YA contemp. I’m super excited to read her last Thunder Road book too. 🙂
I am such a Katie McG fan! Her interview was so sweet. When she talked about her husband – my heart! I am very excited for her next book too.
