The Catalyst by Nat Bickel

By Book Goodies

Sometimes love interrupts life in the most terrifying and unexpected ways.

Kelynn Sanders has a head full of dreams as overwhelming as North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. She can’t contain it nor control it. The constant swimming of what ifs, wants, aspirations, and the possible failure of it all causes her to black out. She tries her best to transfer her thoughts into a mystical opal necklace, but it only keeps her episodes temporarily at bay.

When she meets Clayton Fogerty, he’s soon the only thing that clears her head—making life bearable again, but Clayton has a secret. He has Kelynn’s opal necklace and accesses her thoughts to boost her confidence by creating “coincidental” scenarios to push her into what he thinks she wants.

With Clayton around, Kelynn feels compelled to chase her dreams, but can she ever do it on her own and overcome the all-consuming darkness?


Targeted Age Group:: 13-18

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I fell in love in my early twenties, and I wanted readers to experience every raw and vulnerable emotion that comes with the experience.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The two main characters are slightly based off of me and my husband. I wrote it in an alternating POV, from third person limited with a focus on the female protagonist, Kelynn, and first person with a focus on Clay, the male. I wanted to ensure reader's knew Kelynn keeps people at a distance and also experience the sensation of falling in love from a male's perspective which we don't see a lot of in YA.
