Playing with Matches by Brian Katcher
" I seriously credit this book with having a huge impact on my life. September 2011. My freshman year of high school. I enjoyed reading, but did VERY little of it. However, I had nothing to do in my study hall, so I go to the library to find a book... " Read more of this review »

“Sage would survive. I'd survive. We were better off apart. Painful and quick, just like ripping off a Band-Aid. Well, more like gouging a piece of shrapnel out of my stomach, pouring a bottle of gin into the wound, lighting it on fire, and sewing my guts up with a dirty bootlace. But the concept was the same.”
Brian Katcher, Almost Perfect

“Everyone has that one line they swear they'll never cross, the one thing they say they'll never do. Not something serious like I'll never kill anyone or I'll never invade Russia in the winter. Usually, it's something less earth-shattering.
I'll never cheat on her.
I'll never work at a job I hate.
I'll never give up on my dreams.
We draw the line. Maybe we even believe it. That's why it's so hard when we break that promise we make to ourselves.
Sage Hendricks was my line.”
Brian Katcher, Almost Perfect

“She baked you cookies!' he repeated as if I'd missed the importance.

'So what?' I turned to get my bag, but Tim blocked my way.

'She wants to have your babies.”
Brian Katcher, Almost Perfect

Edina Rose Hi Brian! Thanks for the friendvite! I really liked your short story. Well done!


Tibicen Pruinosa That's great news!


message 2: by Brian

Brian Wow, my cats don't even have middle names. I'm glad that my book touched you so much. My next book should be out in summer of 2012. Thanks for the pick me up!


Tibicen Pruinosa I've been wanting to tell you that my cat's middle name is Sage, after your character. :) Please keep writing--your characters are so intriguing to me!
