Kate Pentecost

So my name is Kate Pentecost. I am a young adult author. Growing up, I was very much a tomboy. I was always out helping my dad with the cows or exploring the woods or reading a lot of books with dragons in them. I decided that I wanted to be an author when I was about 12 years old. I had an idea for a fantasy book and I started writing one.

And I would send out copies of my completely finished book to Scholastic and stuff like that through the snail mail route back when you still had to submit stuff that way. And I would go and I would look at my mailbox every day to see if I had gotten an acceptance letter from a publisher. I never did. But all in all, I was a really weird little kid.

I had beautiful, long red hair, and then one day I decided to cut it all off because I saw The Mask of Zorro, and I really liked Anthony Hopkins' old man character, and I liked his hair, which was cut right off at his shoulders. I looked past everybody in that movie, and I was like, I want to be like Anthony Hopkins. So for a long time, my hair was like a triangle.

It was really a horrible experience for a 12-year-old. But yeah, after all this, I had a very strong sense of who I was and what I wanted out of life. I wanted to have an interesting life. During the day, I work as a copywriter. But while I live in Houston, I am from the woods between Texas and Louisiana. So, like, where Shreveport, Louisiana is, just on the Texas side.

Growing up in East Texas is... Kind of an odd experience because everything is so far away from everything else. And Texas is so big that each part of it kind of has its own culture in a way. And so the place that I am from is called the Arklatex. That's the region that it is known because it's Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana culture all blended together.

I live on land that my family has owned for decades. hundreds of years. We have the deed from Mexico. And so I was fortunate enough to be able to grow up in like very attached to the land, always exploring, always being outside. And that is where the story that I'm going to tell you takes place. It all started with me and my best friend, Ramsey. Ramsey is a few years younger than me.

I was originally friends with her older sister. When Ramsey came to high school with me, we just became really good friends. And we've stayed friends ever since. We had this sort of ritual that every Friday, we would go and get in Ramsey's Jeep and drive somewhere and do something. You had to drive somewhere because in East Texas, everything is at least 20 minutes away from everything else.
