Karen grew up outside of Chicago with her mom, dad and two older brothers. Being the only girl and the baby was hard when your brothers thought it was a good idea to make her the guinea pig. They both were in wrestling and they used her to learn new moves. Fun for them not so much for her. Family means everything to her and she wouldn’t have changed a thing. She traveled a lot and has finally settled down in a small town in East Tennessee in the mountains. Something about the mountains called to her and still does. She loves to make her own swag and other gifts. She also loves anything to do with the outdoors. Her favorite snack is gummy worms and bears. Her favorite drink is a white monster. She says she is a monster before she has one. Her family is everything to her and they support her 100% with her dream to become a well-known author. She is taking it one step at a time and one book at a time.
