Karen was born and raised under the Southern California sun in a small suburb about twenty-six miles from the beach, spending many summers soaking up the rays and experiencing the ever-changing cultures.
She has always enjoyed reading and writing from a very young age and has fulfilled her dream of becoming a published author. She loves being outdoors and spending time with her large family, though she also loves curling up with a cup of coffee, a blanket, and a crackling fire while writing to the sound of rain. She enjoys writing poetry, science fiction, fantasy, and romance.
She has been married since 1985, has five wonderful children and one grandchild.
