Episode 227: Interview with Katee Stein

Notes:

Katee is an active and encouraging member of the Instagram writing community. We connected with her on social media through her Flash Fiction Magic stories, candid posts about her writing life, and beautiful visuals. As she notes on her website, she specializes in writing speculative fiction that moves the soul.

Her debut novel Glass Helix was released on September 4th, 2023. It’s a YA dystopian romance set within a future world where a genetic revolution has backfired, leaving the people significantly weakened. The story is centered on Khai who escapes from the Research Center where he’s been tested on, into the wilderness and finds that he suddenly is able to heal others. But all is not what it appears and in returning home, he finds his best friend Mae no longer remembers him. The prologue for Glass Helix can be found here on Katee’s website.

Her next project is the first book in an adult fantasy duology called Of Earth and Sky titled Earthbound, which is set to release in September of ‘24.
