Author Biography

Karen has been writing stories ever since her elementary teacher told her she had a great imagination when she explained that her math homework had been eaten by her pet cow. Stories were everywhere Karen looked, especially as she grew up in between the pages of books. She left academic life, headed away from her pet cow and towards the city and after many exciting “life experiences” (something she was told she needed to have to be a writer) she settled in a seaside town with great weather and even better fish and chips. Having helped prepare her two children to leave home by teaching them their alphabet and the effects of vinegar on baking soda, she now spends her days working with her husband in their family business, writing stories and playing with her cats. Her books have received ReadersFavorite.com Five Star awards, but the moment that truly made Karen proud was when her teacher friend announced at her School Assembly that she had bought two of Karen’s books (that she had read in class), for the school library and her class all started clapping and cheering. Awards are nice, but kids are better…that’s why Karen writes—for the kids.

Book Excerpt

8 Under 8 For 8's

“My mother says there are no hooblygooblies,” Joey said.

“Well, she’s just trying to make you feel better because I’ve seen one. She was big and pink and had a round nose and two big pointy ears and two enormous round eyes and four strong tree trunk legs and she was so...so...so...solid. But worst of all was her...” RumJumBum’s voice lowered, “...teeny tiny twirly tail that grows into a huge rope which she wraps around little animals’ necks.” RumJumBum held both his paws to his neck, made some gurgling sounds, and fell into a heap on the ground.
