Clear Angel Chronicles Character Spotlight: Kat Anderson

This is one of the stops in the Clear Angel Chronicles November Virtual Book Tour, prepping for the launch in the second book of the series, Angel's Dance, which releases November 25th.



Psychic Clear Angel hasn’t seen or heard from her one-time lover Detective Grant Anderson since their first case wrapped up six months ago, and that is perfectly fine with her! But when he shows up on her porch in the rain and in tears, she cannot hold her ground.  No matter how she feels about Grant and her “gift”, she can’t ignore the visions already pouring in.
Grant knows that he is no good for Clear, and has respected the distance she has kept. But when his daughter goes missing and the Chicago police have no leads, he turns to Clear and her unique abilities.

This next adventure puts Grant and Clear in close quarters as they find themselves once again fighting their feelings for one another.  Thrust into the dark underworld of performance art, they strive to track down a ballerina who keeps taunting Clear in her visions.  As they delve deeper into one studio, the grisly visions that haunt Clear may be more than she can handle. Can Clear hold it together to help find Grant’s daughter before it is too late?  


Today is a character spotlight on Kat Anderson, the daughter of Grant Anderson.


Kat Anderson

Brief physical description: Kat is a lithe and fit fifteen year old girl. With dark straight hair, deep blue eyes, and a strong features, she is a perfect blending of her father and mother. 

Who would play her in a movie. You know, it is hard to say. I think that I would love to see Chloe Moretz audition. She is very talented. I try not to spend too much time thinking who would play each character, because things change so quickly in Hollywood!

Strengths: Kat is a patient and very grown up young woman who is good at managing the adults around her. I would hesitate to say that she is manipulative, but she does manipulate her parents. Finding ways to meet their desires while still achieving her own desires. It is a tricky tightrope, especially when they are a bit absorbed in their own problems, yet Kat manages is gracefully. 

Weaknesses: Having grown up so quickly, Kat misses out a bit on typical teenage things. Her parents divorce has left her with a bit of a hole in how relationships work. She recognizes this and avoids boys because she doesn't want to end up like her parents. 

Quirk: Kat has so many! Acting tough when she is most vulnerable is probably my favorite. As any good teenage girl, she does a fair amount of eye-rolling. Tugging on her ear when she is glossing over her feelings is another one of my favorites, but you won't see that one until the next book! 

Inspired by: Interestingly Kat's maturity and grace for her age is inspired by my dear friend Linda, which is why I thought her spotlight on Linda's blog was so perfect! Linda and I grew up together, two girls without dads and with younger siblings. We kind of took on the mother role for our own mothers, as they took on the responsibilities of being single parents. I always admired Linda's maturity and responsibility. Her patience and graceful manipulation of her sister to get her to comply. I was much more direct with my brother, and it never went well!
