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 advised her to do
something more practical. Lightbulbs went off in her head,
and she decided to major in Art History, with a
concentration in 20thcentury 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) but didn't sell until her fourth. The moral of the story? Dreams do come true. Pursue yours!
