K. F. Tevis is a YA fiction author who won’t shy away from an emotional roller coaster. Even one with a steep drop. Her work leans on themes of identity, loneliness, and– more often than not– healing. Although her stories can be a little moody and broody, she doesn’t shy away from comedy. Unironically, she finds her greatest motivation and inspiration at exactly the wrong hours, when she should really be sleeping.

"Forgot the Doors" is Katelynne's debut novel. About the book:

Lucas planned to spend the new school year unseen—quiet, careful, and safely out of the way. Selective mutism had taught him that silence could be a shield. But life on the sidelines isn’t as easy as it looks. Friends fade when you can’t find the words, especially when you’re no longer in their classes.

Then, without warning, connection finds him anyway—in unexpected places, with unexpected people. And Lucas begins to learn that staying silent doesn’t always keep you safe… and stepping through the metaphorical doors he’s always avoided might change everything.

"Forgot the Doors" is perfect for readers who love the emotional honesty of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and the raw camaraderie of "The Outsiders."
