Nik Korpon - The Cat Prophecies
Joining me for this episode is multi-book author Nik Korpon. Nik and I have a chat about his newly released middle-grade novel (co-written by Jorge Enrique Paz), The Cat Prophecies: Claw Quest. A boy holds the fate of the world in his hands when he discovers that his cat is from a secret realm of warrior cats as they face a dangerous enemy. Nik and I also discuss how to write for a middle-aged audience, that sits between children’s books and Young Adult books. Have a listen to this fun story that takes place in the streets of Columbia. Enjoy!

BIO:
Nik Korpon Bio:
Nik Korpon is the author of several mystery and sci-fi novels, none of which his kids can read yet. He likes to climb mountains, surf waves, and pet cats, though not at the same time. He met Jorge as a Spanish tutor, then they became parceros (you'll get it when you read the book), and now cowriters. He lives north of Baltimore with his wife, the two aforementioned kids, and assorted cats. This is his first middle-grade novel.
Jorge Enrique Paz Bio:
Jorge Enrique Paz was born in the vibrant city of Cali, Colombia, where the rhythm of salsa and the purring of cats inspire him every day. A lover of anime, music, and animals (especially cats), Jorge wrote his first children's book as a tribute to everything he loves. Fun fact: his cat once saved his life, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. This book is just the beginning of many more furry and magical adventures to come.
