Karen Kendall
Karen Kendall has written "books" since the age of four.
They were bound with staples and published on the
refrigerator door for a wide audience of relatives, friends
and cats. These works of fiction featured rotten
handwriting, little plot, and uninspired artwork, but
nobody was cruel enough to point this out at the time.
It was later in life that kindly people told Karen she
would never make a living at writing, and she decided to
major in Art History, with a concentration in 20th century
art. The kindly people shook their heads and begged her to
look up the word "practical" in the nearest dictionary.
Karen worked for museums and galleries, but never could get
the writing bug out of her head. She completed three
manuscripts (real dogs that still howl under the bed on
moonlit nights) and the fourth time was the charm—she
finally sold her first book.
