Kari has lived in Michigan and Florida, but her roots are in Wisconsin where she currently lives with her husband Bob and two cats, Callie and Charles Finley. By day, Kari is a secretary at a large corporation. By night and on weekends, she can be found at her computer creating another story. After being told by several instructors that she had a gift for writing, in 1996 Kari began dabbling in the world of fan fiction. Influenced by television shows such as “Due South” and “Burn Notice,” Kari had written nearly 300 pieces of fan fiction before completing her first book. In 2012, Kari self-published the novella “Wolves and Sheep Don't Mix,” and “Bonded By Blood” is her first self-published novel.
