Karen Chilton is terrible at math. She was warned that this would be the case, as she spent most math classes from seventh grade forward hiding out at the back of the classroom, scribbling fiction. If a train leaves Boston at 10 a.m. traveling west at 100 mph and another train leaves Chicago at 11 a.m. traveling east at 80 mph, at what point will their paths cross? Karen sometimes wishes she knew. She cautions young writers to PAY ATTENTION in all their classes. It's amazing the amount of seemingly stupid stuff one needs to know later in life.
Karen lives in Rhode Island with her son Ryan, a cat named Godzilla, two guinea pigs, two hermit crabs and a goldfish. She loved the Nancy Drew books growing up, and reads anything she can get her hands on - especially ghost stories and mysteries.
Karen still scribbles fiction constantly, and she is grateful that cell phones come with calculators.
