Karen Lynne KlinkKaren began reading before entering first grade and started her artistic career drawing imaginative adventures in the margins of schoolwork--which, unfortunately, few teachers appreciated. After completing her formal education at Kent State Universit and San Diego State, for four decades she hiked and backpacked her way through the West and parts of Mexico and Central America before settling in Tucson, Arizona, with her cat buddy, Dickens. Although she enjoyed minor success as a watercolor painter, she discovered her true passion when she began writing fiction at the age of sixty. Her interest and experience in psychology and therapy inform her writing about persons who overcome their fear to be who they truly are. She resides in Tucson, Arizona.
