Katherine Locke lives and writes in a small town outside Philadelphia, where she’s ruled by her feline overlords and her addiction to chai lattes. She writes about that which she cannot do: ballet, magic, and time travel. She secretly believes all stories are fairytales in disguise. Her YA debut, THE GIRL WITH THE RED BALLOON, arrives September 2017 from Albert Whitman & Comapny.

I spoke with someone who is an above-the-knee left leg amputee (different cause) for both Second Position and Finding Center. I think a lot of Zed's frustration with movement has to do with his mental state of being, that losing the ability to do ballet like he used to do was losing a part of his identity. That's his journey in Finding Center.

“People never mentioned in history books still made history.”
Katherine Locke, The Girl with the Red Balloon

Katherine Locke, The Girl with the Red Balloon

“I read once, and I wished I could remember where, that Brave was a place. You could just go there if you wanted. There were dozens of Braves, everywhere, all over the world, where ordinary people stood up to tyranny and oppression.”
Katherine Locke, The Girl with the Red Balloon

“This girl is magic. She's wild incantations. She's that spark that lit me back to life and I'm burning for her.”
Rebecca Paula, Everly After

“Skinny-dipping is like Paris. It's always a good idea.”
Rebecca Paula, Everly After

“I remember the way his eyes pinned my body against the backdrop of Paris as if I was some rare butterfly pinned to an exhibit box.”
Rebecca Paula, Everly After

“We’re like dominoes, Beckett and I. I’ve tipped us forward until everything is set in motion. I can’t stop us from colliding. I should enjoy the fall while it lasts. But I know the end is coming too. The quiet. The day where everything has fallen and there’s nothing left but a mess.”
Rebecca Paula, Everly After

“She throws her jeans at me and dives into the pellucid lake, slicing through the water almost without a splash. A church bell rings out in the distance, echoing in the quiet aftermath of Everly’s quick jump into the unexpected.”
Rebecca Paula, Everly After
