Hi! I’m Kari.

I write words.

I want to write horror, but I don’t do overt horror. I want to write horror that creeps up on you, that you don’t even realize it’s there until it’s too late.

I want to be a weird horror writer and thus I work on studying that.

There is no greater feeling than figuring out the magic that a great story uses to make me feel strongly about it, be it love, or horror, or comedy, or drama.

Because that’s what writers are supposed to do. They make the reader feel. I want to do that. I’m working on doing that.

Sometimes I edit, my work, someone else’s work, anyone’s work.

Sometimes I’m a writing coach, for myself, for other people.

Sometimes I review really good books or really great short stories. I’ve been a reader since I was 3 years old, according to my mom. I’ve written about the first 10 years of Marvel Studios movies elsewhere.

Sometimes I go traveling through the US with my husband and my daughter.

My favorite place? The Grand Canyon.

I live in Colorado while most of my family lives in West Virginia, but I have friends and family members all over the US and the world.
