Karen Lynn
Author Karen Lynn, who is a native New Yorker, has always enjoyed writing short stories with intense characters battling to find love and survive in a troubled world, and poetry.

After toiling for years in the legal field, she moved with her kid to Oregon. Inspired by the creative culture and rain in Portland, she has been able to follow her dream of penning novels.

While she loves writing, she always listens to alternative rock because when she sits down, it creates the proper mood for her. She molds and control them and they end up apart of her. Karen’s able to reveal each of her wildest emotions, fantasies, and dreams, live them all and hopefully bring them to life in the minds of her readers, too.

Her goal is to make relatable situations and characters that inspire, motivate, and heal everybody that has been in some toxic relationship, or struggled with emotional and mental instability, dealt with insecurities, fear,s and overcame them.

Karen likes getting inside the minds of all her main characters when she writes. It is a therapeutic, mind boggling out of body experience unlike any other.
