Kat Jaske

Kat Jaske, daughter of CC Technologies staff member Dr. Carl Jaske, had her first book published in late June, 2004. She is already a national award winning author for her poem published in 1996, and received an award and a scholarship from Upper Arlington High School for a book she wrote while in high school.

For Honor is a Swashbuckling adventure in 17th-century France, with spies, traitors, musketeers and a spirited heroine.

. . . . . . . . . . “Her soft leather boots, very similar to those musketeers wore, echoed off the cobblestones and blended in with the sounds of the busy port city. She darted around the corner and searched for her horse.

Stopping short she pressed herself to the wall, flat. How had they found her so soon? . . . She took a fortifying breath and dashed back in the direction from which she had come.

At least she still had a hefty sum of money and one of her father’s basket hilts. Hopefully she wasn’t too out of practice with the sword, for she had a sinking feeling that she would have to be using it all too soon.”

Go to www.forhonor.com on the internet for more information about the book, and interesting information about the author, such as how she has ties to President Ronald Reagan, basketball superstar Tim Duncan, olympic star Andy Bloom, award winning author Orson Scott Card, and Marc Blucas from the “Buffy and the Vampire” TV series.
