Kat Zhang grew up writing scripts for her stuffed animals and asking strange questions. At age 22, she writes both scripts and novels and most of them develop from equally weird questions. Her series, The Hybrid Chronicles, all started when she asked herself “What would it be like to have 2 souls?” One of the coolest things that ever happened to her was when magician David Copperfield made her disappear (she did come back).
