About Karen
Hi, I'm Karen Kerr. I write children's books with my own children as the characters. This makes it very special for my children and me. I also work as a Title 1 Para-Educator in an elementary school.

I am currently working on an ad... More

Karen! So good to hear from you!! I'm glad you like Everland. And unfortunately no!! I won't be doing book signings any time soon!! At least not in the US. See I'm getting ready to go on what I guess you could call a "world tour"...in Iraq. But if you really like the books, you're welcome to subscri... more

Hi Karen, thanks for your comments on my illustrations.
I'm sure your daughter will love Australia. I live in the West, but Australians all over are a pretty friendly bunch.

Hi, Karen,
I'm new arond here too so can't offer much help in that area.

I have a daughter and I've been writing since her birth. She took notice, and now at the encourag... more

Hi Karen. You'll know when my book comes out. First and foremost I'll encourage for people to ask their nearest bookstores to order it for them. After that they'll have the option of buying directly from me. And finally I'll post links of all the online stores carrying the book. My goal is exposure ... more

Hi Karen. You really do inspire me to keep going every time you leave a comment and it actually means a lot more from someone like you when you tell me my writing is good than say when a friend or a family member does because of course they'll tell me "oh that's a nice story." Today I'm making the ... more

Hi Karen,
I was looking into your publisher Lifevest Publishing's website but I don't see any way to make submissions or anything. How'd they work out for you? And let me know what you think of my story if you've gotten around to it so far.

Hi Karen. Thanks for letting me be your friend. I know how you feel about putting your own kids as characters in your stories. I did it unintentionally while I wrote my book in Iraq. Subconsciously I must have been absorbing what my wife would write to me about their personalities ans when I cam hom... more
