Something else that gave her encouragement was Ellen Oh’s “The Prophecy” trilogy, and it was a huge deal for her to read these books. She also did not hold back, putting everything that she loves about her heritage and culture and finds she is lucky to have found others that are very supportive of the story. She also wanted to incorporate parts of Korean pop culture she loved, specifically elements of different Korean dramas. Because she had let the story marinate for such a long time, she had quite a few ideas to explore for it. She needed the encouragement of her friends and family before she could let go of her fears and start writing it down. Kat had the idea for her book for over a year before she could put anything on paper. “Wicked Fox”, she feels, is the book she always wanted to write because it would not let go of her, despite her being afraid of it. It was here that Kat decided she wanted to write an actual book that was purposefully written for publication. It wound up becoming an odd mass of the things she loves: family, heritage, Korea, friends, and angsty drama.
At first, she thought if things did not pan out, she could just move on, but the story was something she could not put down. She wound up writing the entire thing in a total of nineteen days, and wound up reminding her how much she loves writing to begin with.
Kat phoned a cousin that was pursuing publication and encouraged her to work on the story idea. In one, her family would be ancient Korean warriors, and her grandma was the elder and got to pick the people that would be accepted as trainees. After her mother died, she began having vivid dreams about her family, each in different situations. Kat quit writing while she was in college because she did pre-med track, and wound up going into clinical research. In her previous life, she worked in cancer research. She lives and works in New York City and spends any free time she has attempting to figure out just what kind of puppy she should adopt.
It helped when she decided to write a dinosaur time-travel novel when she was just nine years old. Her mom and dad pretended they knew nothing about it. Author Kat Cho once hid books under the sink in the bathroom and would sneak in there to read after it was bedtime.
