After going through several traumatic experiences, Kat escaped from her mental jail. Love and hate in equal measures were the driving forces to get her to take action. That was exactly what Kat did when she was blackmailed into stealing the two most secured diamonds in the world. The going was tough and no sacrifice was out of reach. Nearly blind and socially awkward made her use her irresistible weapons. She was not all brains and body. She was a kitten with claws. Isaac Marais, aka Saki, has been a teacher all his life in places such as South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. He has taught a wide variety of subjects, which include math, physics, chemistry, woodworking, and metalworking. He was also always involved with school sports, which is a huge inspiration for the characters within his books. Another inspiration comes from his extensive travel throughout Europe, as it combines his love for history with geography and math. Coming from a desert region, Isaac considers himself to be a vivid storyteller-or professional liar-as he would often write multiple essays a week while he was in school: three in English and three in Afrikaans. It was within those essays that he would let the wings of his imagination fly. He was challenged to write a book by another author while at a barbecue party when he dared to say, 'It was easy to write books. You just sit down and type.' Shocked by his ignorance, she immediately challenged him to write his own book. Together, they thought of a difficult topic to write about and agreed it must be written in English, since that is Isaac's weakest language. So, at the age of seventy-four, Isaac sat down and wrote 'Kat with a K.'
