Karen is an award-winning screenwriter who has sold over three hundred short stories, twelve graphic novels, nine full length scripts, seven books and one anime. She became addicted to writing for profit when she sold her first short story to PENTHOUSE over thirty years ago, when she was fifteen years old. The International Screenwriter's Association has recently said that her Rosea Dementia series “has the ring of a Philip K. Dick story made by a Japanese horror director." Karen uses five pseudonyms (one for each genre) and owns Klosm Publishing, a micro publishing company created to "release the non commercial, freaky stuff I was never able to sell through traditional avenues."
