About this author

Kat Falls grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland and now teaches at NU, where she is continually inspired by her students' creativity. She started writing DARK LIFE as a writing exercise. Knowing that her 12-year-old son loved reading about the ocean, Wild West pioneers and, of course, the X-Men, she combined his interests and created the premise for a story that kept her up nights plotting and world-building. Kat lives in Evanston, Illinois with her husband, theatre director Robert Falls, their three lively children, two cats, two guinea pigs and a snake named Poncho.



Hello and welcome to my website.
I'm Kat Falls, author of two scifi-adventure novels,Dark LifeandRip Tide, set (mostly) in the ocean. I wrote them with my own kids' reading preferences in mind. Meaning, I tried to keep the stories fast, fun, fresh and edging over-the- top. Actually, those are my favorite kind of books too – adventures that pull me into new worlds, dangerous and beautiful.

Like eating a row of peeps - fun but ultimately unsatisfying. I do love a heroine who can rip off a zombie's leg and beat him to death with it, but the story overall is episodic. (Granted some of the episodes are engaging.) But ultimately the story h...more

This falls outside of my usual scifi/paranoral/horror fare, but I couldn't put it down. There's a lot going on - some of it gut-wrenching - but for me, the grabber was a girl falling in love with writing. (Though the boy love interest is big fun too....more

Okay, I'm rating it before I've finished, but I've already learned so much that even half of this book is worth 5 stars. Some of the anecdotes are upsetting but the point-by-point analysis that de Becker gives of each predator/prey situation is *inva...more

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

I respect how thematically consistent Collins was. But oh, it was hard to love this one with the mindless passion that I did the first two. I missed the levity of the pre-game prep and the shockingly cool challenges.
