Karen Foster

My name is Karen Foster and I'm a hobby writer. I like to write to escape and de-stress, also to share the beautiful places I have visited in the UK and my life stories. For as long as I can remember I have made up stories in my head which just grow and grow until I can't resist the urge to write.

I am a retired Registered Nurse having worked for the NHS in local hospitals and busy GP Practices in 2025. I live on the South coast of England and have 3 children and 4 granddaughters.

I have always loved Hatha yoga and have just qualified as a yoga teacher with British Wheel of Yoga which is very exciting.

I firmly believe life is not about the destination, it's about the journey we take; the simple pleasures, the people we meet, and the decisions we make in order to negotiate life's twists and turns.

Of course there are sad and challenging times in all our lives, but if we look for the good it is there; laughter, friendship and love, (coffee & cake and a good book too of course!) are the key to enriching our well-being and bringing sunshine back into our lives.

I think my writing has improved over time and I'm still learning from my mistakes. Be gentle with me, it's tough to write, edit and publish books yourself. Ultimately, I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoy writing them.
