About

My name is Karen and I LOVE books and the writing craft.

One of my biggest passions is literature—especially for young people. I love books that portray diverse experiences and cultures.

Most of my time is spent working at the day job as a software geek. I spend my early mornings, late nights, and most weekends being a Novelista. Every day, I try to find the balance between the dream of my novel and the reality of my mortgage.

I primarily write young-adult (YA) novels, and I’ve had the pleasure of attending several conferences and retreats such as the Highlights Whole Novel Workshop and the Rutgers One-on-One Plus Conference, both which I highly recommend. I’m also involved in several writing organizations and online communities.

I hope that you visit my blog again in the future. My post schedule is Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and sometimes other days as well.

Feel free to leave a comment or send me a message. I love meeting other kindred spirits.
