Raised in a house that was struck by lightning twice, Cat Patrick is the author of young adult books Forgotten, Revived, and The Originals, and the co-author of Just Like Fate.
As a child, Cat could be found making up stories like her first book, Dolly the Purple Spotted Dolphin; growing corn in the backyard; or performing with a traveling sign-language troupe. She earned a journalism degree from the University of Wyoming and a master's degree from Boston University, and worked in public relations for fifteen years. She lives outside of Seattle with her husband and twin daughters.
