About My Work
In my novels, I often use dark elements to explore my main characters' inner battles on their paths to self-discovery. I enjoy subverting expectations, and have a penchant for making people just a little bit uncomfortable.
My work is character-driven. I start with a concept, create a character, then write a very detailed backstory for him or her. Then I let them out to play! They tell me where and which way they want to go, which leads to all kinds of wonderful surprises, and ultimately, the story I'm supposed to tell.
[Karen is] one of the people who has influenced me in a great way as a writer.
