Author of YA supernatural and fantasy. (Love and magic are the heart and soul of all my stories.)

~TANGLED TIDES trilogy
~THE KINDRILY series
~VIRTUAL ARCANA

I was born and bred in Baltimore, frolicked and froze in Colorado for a couple of years, and I'm currently sunning and splashing around Florida with my spoiled rescue bulldog. I'm addicted to coffee, chocolate and complicated happily-ever-afters.

There aren't enough hours in the day to keep up with my Goodreads shelves and lists, but I do occasionally try to add a book if I remember. Feel free to friend me. I love meeting other book lovers and seeing what people are reading!

Hi Kristy,

I'm honored that you loved the series and read it so quickly. <3 Due to popular request (yay!) there WILL be more of The Kindrily. I've been contemplating at least two more books. The first would focus on Carson & Krista. The second on Rina. I have one other project to finish before I can work on them, but I'm really excited about continuing their stories.

Thanks so much for reaching out! <3 (less)

Star Magic is the Best Magic


Magic is in the air.

Can you feel it? I couldn’t feel it for quite some time. My creative juices dried up for a while and I couldn’t focus on anything writing related. Health issues, COVID, working the day job; they all contributed, but last month I told myself enough was enough.

In an attempt to reboot my writer energy, I attended the Novelists Inc (NINC) conference at St Pete beach. NINC confer

Karen Aww, thanks so so much, Holli. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) That means a lot to me. I'm working on book 2 right now, so kind words like yours really helps keep my spirit lifted.

I hope you have a wonderful New Year.

Thanks again!


message 18: by Holli

Holli Karen, I just finished your book last night and I wanted to tell you it was AMAZING (to say the least). ;) I really enjoyed it and am sooooo looking forward to book two!


message 17: by Karen

Karen Awesome. I will check out more of Hayley's work. :)

I can't say much about book 2 but I will say that Vienna is in it. ;) I'm so glad to hear that Rownan is your fav. He's rarely a fav, but he really is such a great guy.

Alicia Karen wrote: "Alicia, Love it! :) and the girl in the video is very similar to how I picture Vienna to look. ;) Thanks for sharing!"

Thats Hayley Westenra, she's the artist and has such an amazing voice. look at all her albums, her music is in general very soothing and helpful for focusing when writing. I hope you have Vienna in the next book, I was extremely curious about her when she's mentioned in the book, Rownan is really probably my favorite character.

Karen Alicia, Love it! :) and the girl in the video is very similar to how I picture Vienna to look. ;) Thanks for sharing!

Alicia So when I listen to this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K0CqH... I see merfolk and selkies swimming, mainly in Rathe. It makes such a lovely background music/setting of it all to me.
