Karen is an author whose writing reflects her lifelong passion for education, individuality, personal growth, and the human experience.
Her children’s books celebrate imagination, creativity, and the different ways children experience the world. Her Bixby McTinker series introduces young readers to a curious, inventive boy whose literal interpretations of everyday expressions lead to unexpected adventures.
Karen’s published works also include educational resources and books addressing widowhood, grief, and healing. Following the loss of her husband, she drew upon her personal experiences to help others navigate the challenges of loss and rebuilding their lives.
Whether writing for children, educators, or adults experiencing grief, Karen’s work is grounded in compassion, understanding, and the belief that every person’s story matters.
