Also, the canyons which connect the neighborhoods of San Diego pro- vided a convenient hiding spot for the main character , Lucy, as she tries to escape the mysterious hacker. And beyond that, the landscape of San Diego lends itself to a story about exploring the nexus between memories, identity and reality. The fog that often creeps in morning and night along the coast is a conve- nient metaphor for the process of forgetting. While the cliffs and the ocean the characters navigate in the cat mouse chase with the hacker are natural symbols of the known and unknown. What was your favorite scene to write? I loved writing the scenes where I had to use imagery to explain the brain and memory. I love the image of the brain as a universe. Which works perfectly because the brain has as many neurons as the Milky Way has stars. Think about that! We all have a galaxy in our heads. What was the most challenging scene to write? Kissing scenes. They are tricky and hard to get just right. Because they are really important to YA readers but easy to get wrong. My husband who is not in it for the mush was always saying, “There’s too much kissing!” My editor asked for more. I think I found the right balance. I do think my husband liked it when I asked him to prac- tice kissing with him whenever I was trying to figure out hand placement and stuff. Would you wear Spex? Only to my husband’s work parties. I would love to have the Good with Names App discretely reminding me of everyone’s names at a holiday party.

Katherine will discuss her newest book, The Gift of Forgiveness: Inspiring Stories from Those Who Have Overcome the Un- forgivable, a collection of interview-style stories from those who have learned to let go of resentment and find peace, inter- twined with Katherine’s own personal in- sights. “Forgiveness is a topic that every- one will have to deal with at some point in their lives. None of us can get through life without being faced with the opportu- nity to forgive,” Katherine said. “My hope with this book is that through reading these compelling stories, people are able to apply some of the findings to their own journey. I hope that it will provide a better understanding of the journey and relation- ship with forgiveness, and bring a sense of healing.” Katherine is part of a dynamic line-up of influential leaders and executive women panelists participating in this year’s event. “To me, being a leader means making a difference and helping others,” she said. “That is really what I try to do with all of my books. My hope is that someone reads this book and feels less alone in their journey to forgive and that people realize that forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves more than anything.” San Diego Women’s Week will take place March 16-20, with three events through- out the week. Opening Night will be held on Monday, March 16 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Petco Corporate in Rancho Bernardo, and includes a keynote speaker, panel discus- sion, book exchange, vendors, appetiz- ers and drinks, and networking. Women and Wine will take place on Wednesday, March 18 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Bernar- do Winery, featuring wine and food tast- ing and unique shopping opportunities. The Leadership Conference will be held on Friday, March 20 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Town and Country Resort and Convention Center, and includes morn- ing coffee and pastries, keynote speakers, panel discussions, swag bags, vendor village, lunch, and more.
