question:
Hi Kate, I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed my Neptune books. I sure had fun writing about Nere's adventures. I don't have plans to write a fourth book because my publisher isn't interested in buying another Neptune book from me, and I do need to mak

DEL TORO MOON was such a fun, refreshing read about a boy in southern Colorado fighting ancient monsters from horseback! I’m a sucker for any sort of horse story, but one that includes talking horses with attitude delighted me. Ms. Karchut writes dia ...more | |

This was a charming fairy tale about a selfish princess who learns by the end of the story to care about others more than herself. The most inventive part was the dress that Princess Zarina gets tricked and trapped into wearing. I loved the way it co ...more | |

“:Well, isn’t this cozy?:
Dai is grinning at me. We are packed in so tightly, I realize our shoulders and arms are touching.
:I think I owe that boat captain a favor,: he adds, a gleam of mischief in his dark eyes. :I wouldn’t mind if he decided to drive in circles over our heads for the next few hours.:
:I think your muscles would get a little cramped by then: I nod at his long legs, which he’s had to bend to fit into our hiding spot.
:The pain would be worth it,: he says, looking at me. I feel my cheeks heat up as I stare back at him. Is Dai actually flirting with me?”

“Nere, there’s a chance I will see you again,” Cam says, his dark eyes intent. “If you ever need help, get word to me through the smugglers. I’ll come.”
I can only nod, afraid to trust my voice. I must look miserable, though, because moments later, he hugs me. I bury my face in his shoulder, his arms tighten around me, and finally I feel safe.
“No matter what happens, I’ll always love you,” he whispers in my ear. I close my eyes. Do I love him back? I just know Cam is more important to me than any friend I’ve ever had. I open my eyes and raise my face to him, and then he kisses me. I realize I’ve been waiting forever for this. Cam’s lips are soft and he smells like salt water and fresh sea air. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back.”

“While I’ve been talking with Mariah, Dai has unfolded himself from our hiding spot. Now he floats directly in front of it, refusing to move out of my way until I meet his gaze.
His eyes are serious when I finally look at him. :Nere, just for the record, I don’t think you are an idiot, and Lena will never be my type.:”

YA literature is the bomb diggity! I write it and read it, and I love to talk about it! So pull up a chair, get comfortable, and stay awhile.
