Karin does not like having her picture taken. Find a photo of her, and she'll have her eyes closed, she's squinting, her mouth agape, or she's striking an otherwise embarrassing pose. Whenever she is not evading those distorting glass eyes, she can be found reading or writing her favourite genre: crossover, speculative science fiction. Her preferred settings are the beautiful Garden of England (where she lives), and Newfoundland. She likes to place her diverse characters in challenging, near impossible situations. So far, however, she avoided exposing them to that most dire of circumstance – in front of a camera lens.
