Karen Pokras is a writer, daisy lover, and occasional baker who will definitely begin playing the piano tomorrow. Always an avid reader, she found her passion for writing later in life and now runs all of her stories past the furry ears of her two feline editorial assistants before consulting anyone else. A native of Connecticut, she is the proud mom to three brilliant children who still provide an endless stream of great book material. She lives with her family outside Philadelphia.
