I'm here to share book love, because in addition to all of the above, Cat is also a very talented author.
First, there's her debut, FORGOTTEN, a mind-bending tale about sixteen-year-old London Lane,
who forgets the past, but remembers the future.
Lucky for us, Cat's second book, REVIVED, is due to hit shelves on May 1 (but I hear that pre-orders are already shipping out!).
Doesn't that gorgeous cover make you want to know more? Here's the scoop:
A secret government agency has developed a drug called Revive that can bring people back from the dead, and Daisy Appleby, a test subject, has been Revived five times in fifteen years. Daisy takes extraordinary risks, knowing that she can beat death, but each new death also means a new name, a new city, and a new life. When she meets Matt McKean, Daisy begins to question the moral implications of Revive, and as she discovers the agency's true goals,
she realizes she's at the center of something much larger — and more sinister — than she ever imagined.
so I'm offering up a signed copy to one lucky winner.

For fun, I asked Cat a few questions about books and writing. Here's what she had to say:
Kristina: We all know writers love to read. List a few books you love so much you wish you'd written them.
Cat: I would love to have written The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater: It’s dreamlike and quietly romantic but also incredibly well paced and action packed. Others I’d gladly take credit for include: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, Divergent by Veronica Roth and World War Z by Max Brooks.
Kristina: When you start a new project, how do you know you have a solid enough idea to begin writing?
Cat: When an idea strikes, I never write it down. If I’m still thinking about it a few days later, I start writing. If I make it past page seventy five without getting bored, I’ll usually finish the book.
Kristina: How do you celebrate a finished project, a new deal, or other fun authorly news?
Cat: My husband is an amazing cook, and I love champagne. So whenever I finish or sell a book, we have a fancy dinner with bubbly. I’m also fan of buying myself new shoes for big wins.
Kristina: List 3 reasons people should read REVIVED.
Cat: First, Revived is a standalone (not a sequel), so I hope that readers will find it a satisfying read, with the beginning, middle and end all packaged into one nice, neat hardcover. Second, the friendships in the book are some of my favorite relationships that I’ve written yet. And third, it has a striking cover, and the inside bit’s not bad either.
Kristina: What's next for Cat Patrick, the author?
Cat: I’ve just finished editing my third novel, The Originals, which is about three clones living as one person to protect themselves from their past, and which comes out Spring 2013. I’m writing my fifth book and will have news on the fourth in the next few months.
