Brian Katcher
I had just had my first book published and I wanted to do something original before people realized I wasn't really an author. I hit upon the idea of a heterosexual boy and a transgender girl. I first attempted it as a short story, but the people in my writers' group told me there was no way I could pull that plot off in fifty pages. When I turned it into a novel I did a lot of research, asking real life internet Sages to tell me their stories. And the more stories I heard, the more I wanted to write this book. I believe I was the second YA author to write about transgenderism. I know I failed in many ways, but I'm glad the story was as well-received as it was. Thanks for reading!

I'm tempted to read Almost perfect but wondered if you could tell me roughly how much time we spend with Sage in the book. Although Logan appears to be the protagonist, I'm hoping there is a hefty slice of Sage's emotions and thoughts. Any added info (without spoilers) would be welcome. Apparently goodreads won't accept this without a question mark. Any idea why? ;-)

You dedicated your book (and thank you for the Goodreads giveaway, I am so excited) to your Mom, Connie (I saw it and my heart melted. I love you, son!). Do you have special plans for Mother's Day 2015? Your mom has a great name. She shares it with me, another Connie.
