No real questions! Will there be a number 9 ? Love this series and read one after another,got number 8 the day it came out and read it! I too live in Ohio and was raised on a farm just outside of Groveport! Our farm was wonderful! How I still long for those day's!
Kate Morris Hi Brenda. Books nine and the finale, ten, will release in 2018. Also, I'll be releasing book one of a new apocalypse series I'm starting and probably book three in the Detective Lorena Evans thriller series. Happy Holidays and a blessed New Year to you and yours, Kate

How to get back to a manuscript that got stuck at some point?
Kate Morris Copy/paste a big section (ie the last chapter you were writing where you got stuck) somewhere into a blank new page. Looking at the previous chapter will help. This gives you fresh eyes. Perhaps the last thing you wrote where you got hung up isn't where the story needs to go. Go back to the previous chapter and pick it up in a different direction. Let it "tell" you what to do and where to go with it! Always refer back to your outline, too. This will also help. I write an outline with paper and pen, the old-fashioned way. I can flip to it easily and I always leave a lot of room to make additions in between spaces. Hope this helps.

How do you get inspired to write?
Kate Morris I can get lost in very small details like the threads that connect a button to a shirt or researching a medical scene or studying the psychology behind certain behaviors that some people exhibit. Nature is a big one for me. I live in the country, have animals and also a lot of wildlife around my property. Inspiration is everywhere, quite literally. It's just dependent on how closely we take the time to notice it all.
