I devoured [Dear Prudence] like the rotisserie chickens who meet their demise with my bare hands. I read it in a single sitting and I'm not sorry.

Bio

Karen Butterfly 2Alexandria VA_edited.jp

Writing isn't just something I do, it's who I am. My very first publication was back in the third grade, a story in my school newspaper about a German shepherd who takes an airplane to Disneyland for his birthday. Since that early, resounding success, I've never looked back. My grownup work has received several awards since then.

I received my graduate degree in English from Florida State University, were I focused on creative writing. When I'm not at my desk, I'm usually hanging out with my husband, son, and cats, having Indian buffet with my besties, or curled up in bed either reading a book or watching a British mystery.
