About
Kait Nolan is stuck in an office all day, sometimes juggling all three of her jobs at once with the skill of a trained bear—sometimes with a similar temperament. After hours, she uses her powers for good, creating escapist fiction. The work of this Mississippi native is packed with action, romance, and the kinds of imaginative paranormal creatures you’d want to sweep you off your feet…or eat your boss. When she’s not working or writing, she’s in her kitchen, heading up a revolution to Retake Homemade from her cooking blog, Pots and Plots.

Once upon a time, Red Riding Hood fell in love with the wolf. It ended badly.
Reviews
If I said this was one of the best books I've read this year, I would
feel like I was making an understatement. Even giving it five stars
seems like an understatement. It's that good. I've waited for this book
to come out for a long time, and it was definitely worth the wait. I was
pulled into the story from page one, and I could barely make myself
stop reading long enough to do things that needed to be done. You know,
like go to work. Very well written, exciting, romantic...these are just a
few words to describe this story that wove it's way into my heart. I
won't write a synopsis because some of the other reviewers have already
done that. I'll just say that if you want to be completely blown away by
a good story, whether you're a young adult or an "older" adult, you
have to buy this book! ~Lauralynn Elliott on Amazon.com<br /><br />I have followed Kait on Twitter for awhile now and have seen the "birth"
of this book through her blog. I knew it was targeted to a Young Adult
market but thought I'd give it a try.
<br /><br />Downloaded a Kindle copy of Red a few hours ago. Thought I'd read a
few pages, get a feel for it...I just FINISHED it. I was lost.
Completely and utterly lost. Hours went by and I had no idea!
<br /><br />Wow. Just fantastic. Characters were so real it was like I could see
them in front of me. Unlike the usual teen angst-filled, hormone-fueled
drama found in much of today's novels the characters in Red are fully
formed and capable of intelligent thoughts and actions. Plus they don't
sparkle...always a plus.
<br /><br />Thank you, Kait, for such a great read.
<br /><br />Now go write more...and hurry!
