THE IMPROBABLE THEORY OF ZAK AND ANA

Big Bang Theory meets Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist in this hilarious he said/she said romance that begins as a manhunt through a Sci-Fi convention and ends up being a wild, wonderful first date.

The Improbable Theory of Ana and Zak is Stonewall Book Award-winning author Brian Katcher’s hilarious he said/she said romance about two teens recovering from heartbreak and discovering themselves on an out-of-this-world accidental first date.

It all begins when Ana Watson’s little brother, Clayton, secretly ditches the quiz bowl semifinals to go to the Washingcon sci-fi convention on what should have been a normal, résumé-building school trip.

If slacker Zak Duquette had not talked up the geek fan fest so much, maybe Clayton would not have broken nearly every school rule or jeopardized Ana’s last shot at freedom from her uptight parents.

Now, teaming up with Duquette is the only way for Ana to chase down Clayton in the sea of orcs, zombies, bikini-clad princesses, Trekkies, and Smurfs. After all, one does not simply walk into Washingcon.

But in spite of Zak’s devil-may-care attitude, he has his own reasons for being as lost as Ana – and Ana may have more in common with him than she thinks. Ana and Zak certainly do not expect the long crazy night, which begins as a nerdfighter manhunt, to transform into so much more.

Brian Katcher is the author of the Stonewall Book Award-winning novel Almost Perfect, Playing with Matches, and Everyone Dies in the End. He lives in central Missouri with his wife, Sandra, and his daughter, Sophie. When he is not writing, he is working as a school librarian and a member of the Forever Young Adult blogging group.
