In addition, her Chronicles appear in The New York Jewish Week and The Times of Israel – bringing her writing to an audience of more than 3.5 million readers. Karen also is a contributing writer for Humor Outcasts. A former newspaper reporter, her fiction and non-fiction writing has been published across the U.S.

A native of New York City and Las Vegas, Karen now lives in Berkeley, CA with her husband, two children, and one neurotic dog named Olga, rescued from Florida’s Hurricane Erma. It all makes for a lot of geography and a lot of humor.
