ABOUT ME

feather.png

Hi there! I’m Kara.

I write stories about fairytales and fiery souls. I spent my childhood a little like a Lost Girl, running barefoot through lush green jungles which inspired my award-winning Peter Pan retellings, DUST and SHADOW.

I’m also the co-founder of the Author Conservatory where I have the honor of teaching young writers to craft sustainable author careers.

You’ll find me with my toes in California sand as a SoCal resident, belting Broadway show tunes on weekend drives to Disneyland with my delightfully-nerdy husband, or chatting about my love of magic and mayhem on Instagram.
