Autorenporträt
Karen writes to excite young readers about pioneer history. She enjoys visiting schools as Grandma Sarah, a pioneer woman from her series, Settlers of the Ohio Frontier. Ohio has many famous historical figures, so Karen took up her pen to introduce John Rankin and John Parker (from Ripley, Ohio) and Orville and Wilbur Wright (from Dayton, Ohio). Writing a youth biography of Simon Kenton has been a longtime goal, ever since Kenton appeared in her first novel, Conflict at Chillicothe.
