About

Author PhotoKaren is a fantasy writer from New York – no, not the city. She spends her days working at a job she loves, selling antiques and collectibles online. But at night she transforms into the Midnight Novelist. She enjoys creating stories about everything from frolicking faeries to gruesome mass murderers. On her blog, she writes about TV, movies, music, books, art, and just about anything she finds interesting. Comments, discussions, and the sharing of stories are always welcome.

In addition to her day job (and her not-so-secret identity as a writer), she also works for Hypable.com. It’s a pop-culture website where writers are truly passionate about the fandoms they cover. There, she copyedits, reports news about Teen Wolf and Percy Jackson, writes columns, and is featured on multiple podcasts (all of which you can find on her Accomplishments page). There’s quite literally something for everyone over there, and her only word of warning is that it can cause obsession, insomnia, caffeine-addiction, and the inability to stop quoting your favorite TV shows.

You can follow her on Twitter here.
Her Facebook page is here.
Her Hypable profile is here.
And you can see all of her accomplishments as a writer on this page.

(Also, in the hopes that no one ever mispronounces her last name again, you’ll be delighted to know that you say it the same way you would say “wrought” – as in “wrought iron.”)
