The only Purple position remaining holds the most power, and she has eyes in everyone's houses and a hand in every child's education. Dr. Drosera, the CEO of American Education, helps keep the graduation rate high and the unemployment rate low, so she is widely respected and trusted without suspicion. In what is supposed to be her final year, two seemingly incorruptible doctoral students are chosen for a one-year internship to determine who will take her place as Purple. Unfortunately for both of them, Dr. Drosera is not content with leaving at the end of the year. Like the strikingly beautiful carnivorous plant for which she is named, she will trap anyone in her way. Kate Deemer spent the majority of her childhood in West Virginia and lives in Charleston, South Carolina. She served her community as a high school English teacher for fourteen years.

She holds a BA in English education and an MA in educational leadership from Marshall University.
