MEET Karen

After spending 30+ years in corporate accounting and finance, I have become a writer.  

I’m currently working on my debut novel, Left to Conjecture

Pop over to my Photography section, my characters have their own page that they are quite proud to share with you.

I enjoy making up new words, it's one of my quirky superpowers; visit my Fictionary.

On these pages you may find humor, your next favorite book, movie, product, or a travel destination…depending on where my imagination happens to transport us.

Xoxo!
