Brian’s Recent Updates
"Gripping, bleak and impossible to put down. It has an ending that reminds me emotionally of Brian Katcher's Almost Perfect in that you very much want a follow-up book, but understand why it probably won't happen."

"When I read this, I loved it but I struggled with some aspects of it. Four years later, I still have conflicted feelings.
It's not from the perspective of the trans girl. So in that sense, I think it works. I've been on both sides of this equation-..." Read more of this review » |

“Everyone thinks they're the only one who's ever been hurt.”
― Brian Katcher, The Improbable Theory of Ana and Zak
― Brian Katcher, The Improbable Theory of Ana and Zak
“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

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