Karen Buckeridge

I'm a local from North Queensland, growing up amidst sugar cane and the Whitsunday Islands. Of those two, the islands stole my heart and I went into the scuba industry at a young age. Even then, I spent time wondering what it would be like to push the boundaries of normality - living permanently below the waves and only visiting the surface. Aquaman was one of my favourite comic book characters at that time. (A water-breathing/air-breathing ranged mind-bender who looks perfectly normal? Yes, please!)

The cyclones of the early 90's messed up several years of diving, so I returned to the shore to make a living, where I met my husband in the manufacturing industry.

Twenty-five plus years and three children later, we're still together. Only one daughter is still at home - The other two having grown up and moved on with families of their own.

I love creating realistic characters with recognisable flaws and personality types despite their power levels, and fun, interesting story arcs that leave the reader wondering 'Maybe?'

I'm an avid reader of all things supernatural, paranormal and romance, not necessarily in that order or exclusively.
